Crab, Asparagus and Pepper Mini "Un" Frittatas

Note: This recipe is for a total of 24 mini "un" frittatas. However, for a full muffin sized frittata, reduce the temperature to 375 F and bake for about 15 minutes longer.


Ingredients

1 small (74g) red bell pepper
1 bunch (227g) asparagus spears, tough stem ends removed
1 tbsp (14g) butter
2 tsp (2g) fresh tarragon, rough chop
3 large (150g) whole eggs
1 cup (238g) cream, heavy whipping
8 oz (227g) lump crab meat, drained and picked to remove shells
salt and fresh cracked pepper, to taste
Totals (of 8 Servings)

Method:

Pre-heat oven to 425 F.
Remove the seeds from the bell pepper.
Dice the bell pepper into very small pieces, roughly the size of a small pea. Set aside.
Cut the top inch off 24 stalks of asparagus (optional). With the remaining asparagus, slice small rings, each about 1/4 inch slice. Each little "coin" will be roughly the same size as the bell peppers.
Heat up a sauté pan, on the stove over high heat.
Add the butter to the pan, and swirl it around.
Quickly add the peppers and asparagus. Season with salt and pepper. Toss in the fresh tarragon. Toss it all together and make sure it tastes good. After about 1 minute, place the ingredients on a room temperature plate or pan. Set aside.
Whisk together the eggs and cream. Add a small amount of salt and pepper.
In a bowl, mix together the fresh lump crab and vegetable mixture.
Grease two 12-cup mini muffin pans. Evenly divide the crab-veggie mixture between each of the 24 cups.
Pour the egg mixture into each up, filling it just over 3/4 of the way.
Place a raw asparagus spear in the top of each muffin cup.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the eggs puff evenly and slightly brown on the top.
Remove from the oven. They will fall. Let set for a further 5 minutes, before serving.
Serve!
