Notes
You don’t need to use extremely expensive crab meat in this dish. I used canned crab (like canned tuna).
Allow the cream cheese to warm up to room temperature on the counter for at least 30 minutes so that it is soft enough to mix in with the eggs.
Mascarpone can also be used in this dish for a richer dish, or Neufchatel cheese for a dish that is slightly lighter.
If you use ramekins, make sure you oil them to prevent the frittata from sticking. You can also use a regular casserole dish, just be sure to double the recipe.
