Crab Meat Frittata
This was absolutely delicious!!! Making eggs this way was the best tasting eggs I have ever had. You can make this with imitation Crab Meat or real Crab Meat. What a wonderful meal for breakfast, lunch or supper. This is low in calories but high in flavor.

Ingredients
In a large oven safe pan (I used a
10” cast iron pan) melt 2 Tbsp of
butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced green onion and cook a
few minutes until the onion is tender.
Add the mushrooms and cook a minute more.
If you use fresh mushrooms, put them
in when you put the onions in.
Remove the pan from the heat and
put the vegetables in a bowl.
In a large bowl add the egg yolks. With a
mixer on high speed, beat the egg yolks
until they are slightly thickened
and a lemon color.
Use a spoon and stir in the milk,
hot pepper sauce and salt.
Wash your beaters and dry thoroughly.
Place the egg whites in a clean medium
bowl. Using the mixer on high speed,
beat egg whites until foamy.
Gradually add the egg white to the yolk
mixture, whisking just until blended.
Turn on the broiler.
In the oven safe pan you already
used, melt 1 Tbsp of butter
over medium heat on the burner.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan.
Cook until the egg is almost set.
Remove from the heat.
Place the pan 4”- 6” under the hot broiler.
Watch carefully and broil until the top is set.
Remove from the oven and
top with the crab meat.
Add the mushroom and onion mixture.
Top with the cheese.
Place the pan back under the
broiler until the cheese melts.
Slice and serve immediately.

It looked delicious Diane – I’ve never had one either. I used to love a farmer’s breakfast, my mom would save some veggies and cook them up with bacon or crumbled-up sausage, and make fried potatoes and lump them all together into a big omelette. Sunday mornings were to die for!

Love omelettes – been awhile since I had one. I think I told you before when we were discussing egg sandwiches, my mom used to take a can of deviled ham and mix it with eggs like you’d make an omelette and make “Western Sandwiches” … yum.
