You could always get a smaller enamel cast iron skillet too...

I have pretty much every size cast iron you can buy.. as well as small and large enameled ones. I was just saying my large one is my most used of all.. I use the small plenty too I hope I didn't give the impression I'm purposely pulling out the large dutch oven for 1 egg. I have the 6 or 8 inch skillet. Again, never cook an egg anyway.

I had no idea nonstick had a stigma. I just don't use it because most everything I personally cook does better in the cast iron/enamel/stainless steel cookware. I have cheap nonstick pots that I'd use for boiling pasta or potatoes, for heating certain canned vegetables, etc. They just don't get used as much. Even for a can of green beans, I can cook bacon and onions in my small enameled cast iron and then deglaze the brown bits with liquid and cook the beans. No brown bits in a nonstick, unfortunately.
