How to Make Crab Meat Omelette Filling

  1. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 finely chopped green onions and 1 teaspoon of chopped fresh parsley. Sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes, being careful not to brown the butter.
  2. Gently stir in 1/2 cup of lump crab meat. Cook for 1 minute, being careful not to break up the crab meat lumps.
  3. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Add 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  5. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared skillet. As the eggs begin to set around the edges, gently tilt the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  6. Spoon the crab meat mixture evenly over one half of the omelette.
  7. Once the eggs are mostly set, fold the omelette in half, using a spatula to gently lift and fold the empty half over the filling.
  8. Cook for another minute, until the cheese is melted and the omelette is cooked through.
  9. Garnish with the remaining 1 teaspoon of chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
