Herb's take

Inspired by the Italian frittata, this dinner dish layers sweet onions and bright tomatoes with fluffy eggs, all baked into a casserole with nothing but pantry classics. The real magic is how humble ingredients become a rustic centerpiece using a single skillet.

Instructions

  1. 01
    Preheat your oven to 375°F. Position a rack in the upper third for even browning.
  2. 02
    Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring frequently, until golden and soft, about 10 to 12 minutes.
  3. 03
    Add the drained diced tomatoes to the skillet and cook for another 4 minutes, letting some liquid evaporate. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and stir in the paprika and oregano.
  4. 04
    In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, baking powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and another 1/2 teaspoon salt until completely smooth and slightly frothy.
  5. 05
    Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed onion and tomato in the skillet. Gently stir just enough to distribute the vegetables evenly. Let the skillet sit on the heat for 1 minute to help the edges set.
  6. 06
    Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until the center is just set and the top is lightly browned. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
  7. 07
    Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
