Recipe Introduction


Note: Substitute cooked ham or cooked, drained chorizo or omit meat completely.


List of Ingredients




1 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. minced shallot
1-1/2 c. crabmeat (see Note)
1 c. (4 oz.) shredded Swiss cheese
2 tbsp. minced red bell pepper
2 tbsp. minced green bell pepper
2 tbsp. minced yellow bell pepper
2 tbsp. minced celery, or more, to taste
Dash of nutmeg
Dash of hot sauce, optional
8 eggs
1 c. half-and-half
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Minced parsley, for garnish, optional


Recipe



Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Melt butter and sauté shallot until tender, about 2 minutes. (You can also sauté peppers slightly, if desired.)

In a bowl, mix crab meat, cheese, minced bell peppers, celery, nutmeg and hot sauce, if using. Stir in shallot.

In a separate bowl, beat eggs and half-and-half, then pour over crab meat mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix well. Pour into a 13- by 9-inch dish. Bake for 40 minutes or until desired brownness on top. (This could puff up during baking. It will settle down.) Let stand for 10 minutes. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Serves 8 to 10
