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 FRITTATA
Yet another way to make use of those big blue crabs we are catching. 1 crab gave us 1 cup of beautiful meat for this.I can't do what I suggest in the last step as I don't have a griller (broiler) so I finished it with the lid on for a couple of minutes to set the top. That worked fine and would be good for camping. Just cook the onion and potato slower and longer if you can't access a microwave.
