How to Make Crawfish Omelet

  1. Prepare the crawfish filling: In a medium skillet, sauté chopped green onions and sliced mushrooms over medium heat until onions are translucent (about 5 minutes). Stir in the cooked crawfish tails and set aside.
  2. Whisk the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs with salt and pepper.
  3. Cook the omelet: Heat a lightly oiled 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the whisked eggs and cook, gently lifting the edges with a spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly wet on top.
  4. Add the filling: Sprinkle half of the shredded Velveeta cheese over one half of the omelet. Top with the crawfish and mushroom mixture.
  5. Fold and finish: Fold the other half of the omelet over the filling. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelet is heated through.
  6. Serve: Sprinkle with the Colby-jack cheese. Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately.
