Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 200 grams Crab meat
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them together with the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Finely chop the chives and set them aside for garnish.
In a nonstick skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture.
Stir the eggs gently and continuously with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the pan to create creamy, soft curds.
When the eggs are about halfway cooked, add the crab meat and gently fold it into the eggs. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
Continue cooking the mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully set but still soft and creamy. This should take about 7-9 minutes in total.
Squeeze a little lemon juice over the eggs for a fresh, bright flavor.
Transfer the eggs with crab meat onto plates and garnish with the chopped chives.
Serve immediately, optionally with toasted bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
