What’s in the Fridge Frittata

Total Time Prep/Total Time: 25 min.

Yield 4 servings

Great for a last-minute breakfast, brunch or lunch, this special frittata has a combination of crab and Swiss cheese that my guests rave about. I also like to use sausage and cheddar cheese with asparagus. —Deborah Posey, Virginia Beach, Virginia

Ingredients

6 large eggs
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup chopped sweet red pepper
1/3 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 can (6 ounces) lump crabmeat, drained
1/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley, optional

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk eggs. In an 8-in. ovenproof skillet, saute the onion, pepper and mushrooms in oil until tender. Reduce heat; sprinkle with crab. Top with eggs. Cover and cook until nearly set, 5-7 minutes.
Uncover skillet; sprinkle with cheese and, if desired, parsley. Broil 3-4 in. from the heat until eggs are completely set, 2-3 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes. Cut into wedges.
