How to Make Crab Frittata

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Microwave 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1/2 cup chopped potato on high for 3-4 minutes, or until slightly softened. Alternatively, sauté these ingredients over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until softened.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in an oven-safe 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the softened onion and potato and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (capsicum) and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables. Sprinkle 1 cup cooked crab meat over the top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set and lightly golden brown. For a crispier top (if you have a broiler), broil for 1-2 minutes or until browned. Alternatively, you can finish under a lid on the stove top for a few minutes to set the top.
  8. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
