SKILLET SPAGHETTI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to high with a rack set 6-inches from the heat source. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Add the pasta to the water and cook according to package directions. Drain and immediately return to the pot. Toss the pasta with the capers, raisins, red pepper flakes, and 3 tablespoons of the butter until the pasta is well coated.
• Beat the eggs with the oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Heat the remaining tablespoon butter in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the beaten eggs and cook, without stirring, until just set on the bottom, about 30 seconds. Then lift some of the set eggs with a spatula, letting the uncooked egg flow down to the bottom of the skillet. Repeat until the eggs are mostly set but still runny. Nestle the pasta evenly into the eggs and scatter the cheeses over the top. Broil, watching carefully, until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully set, about 3 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve.

HAM AND CHEESE SKILLET CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the upper third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
• Toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover the bowl with a paper towel and microwave on high, stirring the potatoes halfway through cooking, until the potatoes begin to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain the potatoes well and set aside.
• In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, butter, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Stir in the flour and green onions until just incorporated but still a bit lumpy, and set aside.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet set over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the ham and potatoes; cover the skillet with foil and cook until the potatoes start to brown, about 10 minutes. Uncover the skillet, pour in the egg mixture, and sprinkle the cheese over the top. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until puffed and golden. Transfer the skillet to a wire rack and let cool for 5 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to loosen the casserole from the skillet, then slide it onto a cutting board, slice into wedges, and serve.
• If you decide to invest in a cast-iron skillet, here are Crystal's tips on how to properly season and store your pan. When properly seasoned, a cast-iron skillet works better than any nonstick pan around!
• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• New pans will contain a coating of wax. Thoroughly wash the inside of your skillet with warm soapy water to remove the coating. Never put your cast-iron pan in the dishwasher or let it soak for any length of time.
• Important: Dry your skillet thoroughly with paper towels. It is imperative that it is completely dry. Do not let it air-dry.
• Dampen a paper towel with vegetable oil such as canola oil, or shortening such as Crisco, and wipe the inside of your skillet thoroughly, creating a nice sheen or glisten on the pan.
• Cover the bottom of your pan with coarse salt to a depth of about 1/2 inch up the sides of the pan.
• Place your skillet in the oven for 30 minutes.
• Using oven mitts, remove the pan from the oven. Place pan on a safe surface for cooling. Cool for 30 minutes or more until the pan is cool to the touch.
• Dump the salt from your skillet and wash the skillet with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry skillet thoroughly, as mentioned above.
• Before putting your pan away, be sure to give it another light coating of oil or shortening to protect it from rust and corrosion.
