Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup fresh crab meat
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons green onions
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add the milk. Whisk together until well combined and slightly frothy.
Season the egg mixture with salt and black pepper, and set aside.
Chop the green onions and parsley finely. Set them aside for later use.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter until it begins to foam.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread the eggs evenly.
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
Sprinkle the crab meat, cheddar cheese, green onions, and parsley evenly over one half of the omelet.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the uncovered half of the omelet over the filling. Press gently to seal the edges.
Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelet is fully cooked but still moist.
Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with additional parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
