A delightful frittata featuring crab, cheese, and vibrant vegetables, perfect for any meal.
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them together with the cream, lemon zest, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Whisking the eggs thoroughly helps to incorporate air, making the frittata fluffier.
Place the diced potato and chopped onion in a microwave-safe dish and microwave on high for 3 minutes to soften them.
Microwaving the vegetables before frying reduces the overall cooking time.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat, add a drizzle of oil, and sauté the potato and onion until golden and cooked through.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Add the chopped red bell pepper to the pan and cook for an additional 2 minutes until slightly softened.
Adding the bell pepper later keeps its texture and flavor vibrant.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the crab meat and cheddar cheese over the top.
Ensure the egg mixture covers the vegetables evenly for consistent cooking.
Cook the frittata on low heat for about 5 minutes until the edges are set but the center is still slightly runny.
Cooking on low heat prevents the bottom from burning while the top sets.
Transfer the pan to a broiler and cook for 2-3 minutes until the top is golden and fully set.
Keep an eye on the frittata under the broiler to avoid over-browning.
Slice the frittata into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious cheesy crab and veggie frittata!
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for an extra touch of flavor.
