  3. Add the crab meat and mix together with the chopped basil. Reserve.
  4. Mix the eggs in a bowl with a whisk. Add salt and pepper and the cream.
  5. In a pan, pour the mix over the sauteed vegetables and mix with a wooden spoon over the stove to ensure it is well mixed.
    Cook in the oven for 5 minutes at 350°F.
  6. When the eggs are cooked remove from the oven, flip upside down on a plate and keep aside to cool down.

Garlic Bread

  1. Mix the butter in a bowl with the chopped garlic, parsley, parmesan cheese and remaining lobster oil (1 tbs).
    Mix well with a spoon and add pepper.
  2. Cut the baguette 2/3 lengthwise, spread the butter in the middle.
  3. Wrap the baguette with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 35 min at 350°F. When ready, take the bread out of the oven, remove the aluminum foil and slice the bread into 8 pieces.
  4. Cut the frittata like a pie and enjoy with the warm bread.

Also, if you like you can drizzle the cold frittata with a bit of balsamic vinegar. It also works very well with prosciutto ham.

* Crab meat can be substituted for smoked salmon, shrimp or any seafood. Nice recipe for brunch or picnic.
