Best Crabmeat Frittata With Tomatoes And Herbs Recipes

CRABMEAT FRITTATA WITH TOMATOES AND HERBS

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy and season with half the salt and pepper.
• In a nonstick 10-inch skillet, cook the garlic and shallots in the olive oil for 1 minute over moderate heat.
• Add the tomatoes, basil, and thyme, raise the heat, and continue cooking until most of the water from the tomatoes has evaporated.
• Stir in the crabmeat, season with the remaining salt and pepper, and cook 1 minute to heat through.
• Stir the eggs into the skillet.
• Over high heat, continue stirring with a wooden spoon while simultaneously shaking the pan back and forth over the flame.
• The eggs will begin to form small curds.
• Continue stirring and shaking until the eggs are set but still somewhat soft on top.
• Loosen the frittata from the skillet with a rubber spatula and slide it onto a large dinner plate.
• Cover the frittata with another dinner plate and invert the plates.
• Slide the frittata back into the skillet and continue cooking over high heat to brown the other side, about 2 minutes.
• The cooked frittata should be golden brown on both sides.
• Carefully transfer the frittata to a large dinner plate, cut into wedges, and serve hot or at room temperature.

CRAB AND ARTICHOKE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat the broiler to high and place a rack in the center of the oven.
• Whisk together the eggs, mascarpone, basil, tarragon, chile paste, lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Heat a medium (10-inch) nonstick ovenproof saute pan over medium heat. Add the oil and heat another minute. Add the artichoke hearts and cook, stirring often, until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Add the spinach and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes longer. Add the crab and stir to combine. Add the egg mixture and allow to sit for 1 minute. Using a rubber spatula, stir the cooked egg mixture up from the bottom and sides, allowing the raw mixture to begin to cook. Continue to do this until the mixture is beginning to look like a soft scramble, about 4 minutes. Spread the mixture evenly on top and place under the broiler until the mixture is completely set and the top is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
