Description
A delicious and easy-to-make crab omelette that combines the flavors of fresh crab meat with eggs and herbs.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked crab meat, shredded
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, fish sauce, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Gently fold in the cooked crab meat, green onions, and cilantro until evenly distributed.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour half of the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread it evenly.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the edges start to set. Carefully lift the edges with a spatula and allow any uncooked egg to flow underneath.
- Once the bottom is set and lightly golden, fold the omelette in half and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
- Repeat the process with the remaining egg mixture, adding the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet if necessary.
- Serve the omelettes warm with lime wedges on the side.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture.
- Substitute crab meat with shrimp or cooked chicken for a different flavor profile.
