Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup crab meat or cooked shrimp (peeled, deveined, and chopped)
- 2 tablespoons green onions (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons red bell pepper (finely diced)
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. Stir in the milk or cream, and season with salt and black pepper.
If using shrimp, ensure it is peeled, deveined, and chopped into bite-sized pieces. If using crab meat, ensure it is clean and free of shells.
In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper and cook for 1-2 minutes until softened.
Stir in the green onions and your choice of crab meat or shrimp. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the seafood is heated through. Remove the mixture from the skillet and set aside.
Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium-low heat, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
Sprinkle the cooked seafood and vegetable mixture evenly over one half of the omelette.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling. Let it cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the eggs are fully set and the filling is warmed through.
Slide the omelette onto a plate, cut in half if serving two, and serve it warm.
