Active: 5 min
Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 large Yukon gold potato
  2. Kosher salt
  3. 6 large eggs
  4. 1/2 cup half-and-half
  5. 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  6. 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  7. 1 teaspoon olive oil
  8. 1 cup jumbo lump crabmeat
  9. 1/2 cup baby arugula, chopped

Instructions

  1. Put the potato in a pot with enough water to cover. Season the water generously with salt and place over high heat. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain well and let cool slightly. Cut into quarters and slice into thin pieces.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, lemon zest, paprika and 1 teaspoon salt.
  4. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with the olive oil. In the baking dish, combine the crab, arugula and sliced potatoes, making sure the potatoes are all lying flat. Pour the egg mixture over the top.
  5. Bake until the center is just set and the top is brown, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before cutting into 1-inch squares.

Agree 100 percent with last comment. This is very blah. It definitely needs herbs seasoning.

The consensus (3 of us) was that this was pretty bad. I made exactly as written. Very, very bland. We threw the rest away. I like most of Giada’s recipes, so this was odd for me.

This frittata is light, fluffy, and the flavors are delicious! The lemon zest is amazing with the crab. It tastes like lemon butter crab but lighter. I used cauliflower steamed for ten min instead of potato and I only have 2% milk so I used that and it’s delicious. I forgot to olive oil the pan and sprayed some coconut oil around the edges and it works decently. Probably better to remember to grease the pan.

Made this last night for dinner for hubby and myself. Grilled a couple NY strips to go with it. We both loved it. I did cut it into larger pieces than 1″ – maybe 2″ squares. Had some left over for lunch today and made a small salad to go with it. Delicious.
