Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 200 grams cooked lump crab meat
• 60 ml heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 medium, finely chopped shallot
• 1 minced garlic clove
• 0.5 small, diced red bell pepper
• 50 grams baby spinach
• 30 grams grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh chives

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and heavy cream together until well blended. Season with salt and black pepper, then set aside.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil and butter in an oven-safe, non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the finely chopped shallot and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and translucent.

Step 5

Stir in the diced red bell pepper and cook for another 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 6

Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Gently fold in the cooked lump crab meat and distribute it evenly across the skillet.

Step 8

Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and crab in the skillet. Tilt the pan slightly if needed to ensure the eggs cover all the ingredients evenly.

Step 9

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top of the egg mixture.

Step 10

Cook the frittata on the stovetop over medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes, or until the edges start to set.

Step 11

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed up and fully set in the center.

Step 12

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata rest for 5 minutes.

Step 13

Sprinkle the chopped fresh chives over the top before slicing and serving warm. Enjoy your Crab Frittata!
