This crab omelette is one of my favorite ways to enjoy a bit of luxury during a busy weekday morning. The combination of fluffy eggs and tender crab is classic and always feels like a treat.

I recommend using fresh lump crab meat if you can find it, but canned crab works just fine in a pinch. Just be sure to pick through the meat carefully so you do not find any hidden shells before you add it to the pan.

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup lump crab meat
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 pinch of black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk them well with a fork until the yolks and whites are combined.

  2. 2

    Season the eggs with a little salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.

  4. 4

    Pour the eggs into the pan and let them cook until the edges start to set.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle the crab meat and half of the green onions over one side of the eggs.

  6. 6

    Carefully fold the omelette over the filling and cook for another minute until the eggs are set to your liking.

  7. 7

    Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with the remaining green onions and fresh parsley.

💡 Tips

Serve this warm with a side of buttered toast or a simple green salad. If you have leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for one day, but it is best enjoyed immediately after cooking.
