How to Make Crab Omelet

  1. Gently mix 1 cup of flaked crabmeat with 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  2. In a separate bowl, lightly whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 tablespoon of water, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a small (8-inch) nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and the foam subsides, pour in the egg mixture.
  4. As the eggs begin to set around the edges, carefully distribute the crabmeat and cheese mixture evenly over the top.
  5. While the eggs are still slightly wet, pour 1 tablespoon of heavy cream over the top. Immediately transfer the skillet to a preheated broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown and puffed.
  6. Carefully slide the crab omelet onto a warm plate and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh herbs like chives or parsley (optional).
