Easter Sunday is great! After all, hunting for eggs and painting them are two of best and most pleasant things for most of us to do. But… the next day stinks. It is, after all, Egg Fart Monday. 😆

Powhatan Fritatta

Few things are more delicious and decadent for breakfast or brunch than the combination of crab and eggs.

While I’ve called this recipe for a crab and corn fritatta a Powhatan Fritatta in homage to the ancient Native American tribe of the Chesapeake Bay region, they would not have had a dish similar to this. It does, however, showcase some of their favorite ingredients: crab and corn.

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 8 oz crab meat
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

  5. Bake until a knife inserted into the center of the frittata comes out clean, approximately 30 minutes.
Notes

Blue crab is the most “traditional” crab to use in this recipe but dungeness, king, or snow crab will work equally well. Use what you have available.

You need the equivalent of 4 large eggs for this dish, but can easily replace any number of them with the appropriate amount of egg whites.

You need 1/2 cup of dairy for this dish, but can adjust the fat content and richness of the dish by adjusting the proportions of milk and heavy cream. It can even be made with solely a 1/2 cup of skim milk.

For an interesting variation replace the normal corn kernels with roasted whole kernel corn. It will lend a pleasant smokiness to the dish. For this I use Trader Joe’s Roasted Corn rather than roasting my own.

Minchin quier! Wingutsee tuttascuc.
(Eat! The crab is good.)
