How we chose
Research-backed · reviewed Aug 2026
We matched the recipe’s diameter and preheating method, then checked material, heat retention, cooktop fit, weight, care, stable model identity, and exact destination. Kwilt has not cooked with this skillet.
Lodge 10.25-Inch Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet · L8SK3: The 10.25-inch seasoned surface matches the recipe footprint and retains enough heat to create the crisp cornbread edge promised by a preheated skillet method. Trade-off: It weighs more than five pounds, the handles become hot, and avoiding rust requires prompt hand washing, drying, and light oiling.
Another workable path: Preheat a 9-inch metal cake pan with the recipe’s fat; the crust will be lighter but the crumb and flavor remain valid.

Ingredients

1× recipe · Makes 4 servings

2 tablespoons neutral oil, divided
1 small yellow onion, finely diced
1/2 green bell pepper, finely diced
2 cups cooked Salvadoran red silk beans with 3/4 cup broth
3 cups cold cooked white rice
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
6 large eggs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup Salvadoran crema
4 ounces queso duro or queso fresco, crumbled
Warm thick corn tortillas and fried plantain, for serving

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a over medium. Cook onion and pepper until very soft, 5 minutes.
Add beans, their broth, and half the salt; mash only about one-quarter of the beans to create a creamy binder.
Fold in cold rice and cook, scraping and turning, until evenly stained, lightly crisp in spots, and reheated to 165°F, 6 to 8 minutes.
Beat eggs with remaining salt. Melt butter in a separate skillet over medium-low and fold eggs into soft moist curds; remove before they look dry.
Serve casamiento with eggs, crema, cheese, warm tortillas, and optional fried plantain.
