Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup cooked lump crab meat
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon shredded Gruyère or cheddar cheese
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until frothy.
- Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in egg mixture and let cook undisturbed for 30 seconds until edges start to set.
- Using a spatula, gently push cooked edges toward center, tilting pan to let raw egg flow to edges. Repeat until omelette is mostly set but still moist on top.
- Sprinkle crab meat, chives, and cheese over one half of the omelette. Fold the other half over the filling.
- Slide onto a plate and serve immediately.
Tips
- For extra flavor, sauté the crab meat briefly in butter before adding to the omelette.
- Use fresh crab meat if available; canned crab should be well-drained.
