A crab omelet featuring avocado, served on a plate.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 lbs lump crab meat, checked for shells
  • 1 tbs mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • dash of Tabasco
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh chives, minced
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 tbs milk
  • salt and pepper, to season eggs
  • 2 tbs unsalted butter
  • 1 avocado, pitted and sliced

Instructions

  • Combine the crab meat with mayonnaise, lemon juice, Old Bay and Tabasco. Season with salt and pepper, stir in the chives, and set the mixture aside.
  • In a bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until smooth and slightly frothy. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Heat an 8″ skillet over medium. Melt 1 tablespoon butter and swirl until foamy. Pour in half the beaten eggs and use a rubber spatula to gently stir the eggs while tilting the pan so they spread evenly. Continue until the eggs begin to set but remain soft. Add half the crab mixture across one side, then fold the omelet by sliding the pan off heat and tilting it away from you, using the spatula to roll the omelet onto a plate.
  • Repeat the process with the remaining butter, eggs and crab filling to make a second omelet. Serve topped with sliced avocado and enjoy your impressive breakfast.
