Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • ¼ cup heavy cream

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • ½ cup mushrooms, chopped
  • ¼ cup leeks, chopped
  • 8 oz. Red King Crab combo meat

Chimichurri Sauce:

  • 1 cup kale leaves, stems removed
  • 1 Tbsp garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 shallot, peeled and chopped

To make

Instructions

Whisk the eggs, milk, and cream together.

Sauté the mushrooms and leeks with a tablespoon of olive oil and pinch salt, cook until the leeks and mushrooms are soft.

Spray 2 large muffin molds with nonstick spray and divide the mushroom mixture between the two molds.

Divide the egg mixture by pouring into the molds and top with chopped chives. Bake at 280°F for 20 minutes or until the eggs are set.

While frittatas are baking, make the chimichurri. Blend all ingredients until saucey.

Top the frittatas with chunks of the Red King Crab combo meat and drizzle with the chimichurri sauce. Serve and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

Frittatas can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 5 days. When ready to serve, reheat in the oven at 300°F, until the frittatas are warm all the way through (about 20 minutes).

If King Crab meat is not available, this dish also tastes delicious with other crab species like Dungeness, Snow, or Red Deep Sea.
