Crab And Potato Frittata Food

CRAB AND ARTICHOKE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat the broiler to high and place a rack in the center of the oven.
• Whisk together the eggs, mascarpone, basil, tarragon, chile paste, lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Heat a medium (10-inch) nonstick ovenproof saute pan over medium heat. Add the oil and heat another minute. Add the artichoke hearts and cook, stirring often, until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Add the spinach and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes longer. Add the crab and stir to combine. Add the egg mixture and allow to sit for 1 minute. Using a rubber spatula, stir the cooked egg mixture up from the bottom and sides, allowing the raw mixture to begin to cook. Continue to do this until the mixture is beginning to look like a soft scramble, about 4 minutes. Spread the mixture evenly on top and place under the broiler until the mixture is completely set and the top is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Drizzle olive oil over the mushrooms and asparagus on a baking sheet, sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast until a nice color is achieved, about 12 minutes. Set aside.
• Beat together the eggs with some salt and pepper in a bowl. (Do not over-beat; just mix until the eggs mostly come together.) Stir in the Monterey Jack, Parmesan and hot sauce and set aside.

Add the diced potatoes, sprinkle with salt and pepper and stir to cook for a couple of minutes. Finally, add the asparagus, mushrooms, olives and roasted red peppers and cook, stirring, until everything is hot.
• Make sure all the ingredients are evenly distributed across the bottom of the skillet, then pour in the egg mixture so that it evenly coats everything. Let it sit on the burner for 30 to 45 seconds to set the edges, then put the skillet in the oven. Cook, watching it carefully, until the eggs are set but not very brown on top, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Slide the frittata out of the skillet and onto a cutting board. Sprinkle on the basil and slice into wedges with a long serrated knife.
