Crab Frittata - Mmmmm!


The most popular crab-fishing months in Alaska occur between October and January and Maryland blue crab is just about coming to an end, so take advantage of it. This is a delicious light and fluffy frittata! It makes a great filling meal . The idea of microwaving and browning the onion and potato before-hand allows them to be left in larger pieces giving a more satisfying result. Mmmmm, really good!


  • 5 eggs 
  • 1/3 cup cream 
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind 
  • 1/2 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning 
  • salt and pepper, to taste 
  • 3 tablespoons grated sharp cheddar cheese 
  • 1 large potato, cut into tiny dice 
  • 1 small onion, diced 
  • 1 tablespoon oil 
  • 1 cup fresh crabmeat (you can use lobster or langoustine meat)

Mix the eggs, cream, lemon rind, old bay, salt and pepper together. Set aside. Microwave onion and potato about 3 minutes. Heat oil in frying pan over medium heat and brown potato and onion and cook them through. Pour over 3/4 of the the egg mix and scatter the crab across the top. Cover with rest of egg and top with cheddar cheese. Cook gently for about 5 minutes or until almost set through, then place under a griller (broiler) to brown the top.
