Ingredients
-
8 eggs
-
⅓ cup milk
-
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1 tablespoon snipped fresh tarragon or basil
-
½ teaspoon black pepper
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
2 teaspoon olive oil
-
¼ cup chopped onion
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 ½ cup bias-cut fresh asparagus (1-inch pieces)*
-
2 tablespoon water
-
6 ounce fresh or canned lump crab meat, drained, flaked, and cartilage removed
-
⅓ cup bottled roasted red sweet peppers, drained and chopped
-
2 tablespoon snipped fresh Italian parsley
-
bottled hot sauce (optional)
Directions
-
Preheat broiler. In a bowl whisk together the first six ingredients (through salt).
-
Heat oil in a large broilerproof skillet over medium heat; add the onion and garlic. Cook 2 minutes. Add asparagus and the water. Cover and cook 4 to 5 minutes or until asparagus is tender. Drain and discard any liquid remaining in the skillet.
-
Evenly sprinkle the crab and roasted peppers over asparagus. Pour egg mixture over vegetables and crab in skillet. Cook over medium heat. As mixture sets, run a spatula around edge of skillet, lifting egg mixture so uncooked portion flows underneath. Continue cooking and lifting edges until egg mixture is almost set (surface will be moist).
-
Place skillet under the broiler 4 to 5 inches from heat. Broil 1 to 2 minutes or until top is just set. (Or preheat oven to 400°F; bake about 5 minutes or until top is set.)
-
Cut into wedges. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with hot sauce.
*Tip
For an elegant presentation, choose slender asparagus spears and leave them long.
