Baltimore Crab Boil Omelet with Crispy Smashed Potatoes image

A giant family-style omelet is filled with crispy crab, corn and scallions and served alongside smashed breakfast potatoes.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over for shells (about 6 ounces),
1 cup fresh corn kernels (from about 2 cobs)
1 bunch scallions, chopped, whites and greens kept separate
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound boiled small potatoes
1 1/4 teaspoons seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
6 large eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat until hot. Add the crab, corn, scallion whites and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the edges of the crab are just crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Wipe out the skillet.
  • Gently smash the potatoes with the heel of your hand so the inside is exposed but they still hold their shape. Heat 4 tablespoons of the butter in the skillet over medium-high heat and add the potatoes in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until golden, about 4 minutes per side. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon seafood seasoning and 1 tablespoon of the scallion greens. Season with salt. Transfer to a plate, cover and keep warm. Wipe out the skillet.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet. Beat the eggs, cream, remaining scallion greens and remaining 3/4 teaspoon seafood seasoning, then pour into the hot skillet. Cook by lifting the set egg with a spatula, letting the uncooked egg flow underneath. When the eggs are mostly set but still loose on top, add the crab filling to one side. Gently fold the omelet in half and slide onto a serving plate. Serve with the smashed potatoes.

CAMPING MADE EASY: BOIL-IN-BAG OMELET



Camping Made Easy: Boil-In-Bag Omelet image

This is the way we have been making omelets for years when we go up north to our little cabin (with no electricity). (Please read step #6 for some options). This is so versatile that everyone can get breakfast their own way. Use whatever your hearts desire in each omelet. I usually set up an "Omelet Bar" (diced, ground or shredded, multiple choice items), and everyone grabs what ever they want. We mark each bag going into the pot with the initials of each person. So much fun. This works great over a campfire (if you have a way to put a pan over it to boil), or you can use your stove-top. My ingredient list is only approx. I never really measure, we just grab and mix. Have fun with this. Our grand-kids love this. (To all the "worry warts" out there about boiling food in plastic, please do not post a review unless you've actually made these). Everyone else, enjoy.

Time 15m

Yield 1 omelet, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 eggs
1 teaspoon water (optional)
2 tablespoons cheese (shredded, your choice)
1 tablespoon onion (chopped, raw or sauteed)
1 tablespoon bell pepper (chopped, raw or sauteed)
1/4 cup meat (precooked & diced, chopped or ground, your choice.)

Steps:

  • Boil a large stock pot of water.
  • Mix the eggs & the 1 teaspoon of water in a quart size Zip Lock heavy duty (freezer type) baggie (to scramble) and smoosh it quite a bit.
  • Add in the desired choice & amount of cheese, pre-cooked meat & veggies to the baggie. Seal (zip) the top (removing as much air as possible) and mix everything by squishing the bag. Be sure to season to your liking (salt, pepper, oregano, chili flakes etc. ) before sealing the baggie.
  • Place each baggie (zipper side up) into the boiling water, and keep an eye on them. Reposition the baggies if they sit too long against the side of the pot. They usually cook in about 10 minutes to be done, but depending on how many you are cooking and the size of the pot, it may take a little longer or shorter. Just watch them is all you need to do.
  • Enjoy this fun & fantastic omelet.
  • Some suggestions: Make them spanish with salsa, cilantro and pre-cooked chorizo. Make them Italian with mozzarella, tomato and pepperoni. Chicken cordon Bleu with pre-cooked chicken, swiss and ham. The possibilities are endless!

Tips for Making Perfect Boiled Omelets:

  • Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs will give you the best results. Older eggs may not hold together as well and may have a less desirable flavor.
  • Crack the eggs carefully: When cracking the eggs, make sure not to get any shell fragments in the bowl. Shell fragments can make the omelet tough and gritty.
  • Beat the eggs thoroughly: Beating the eggs thoroughly will help to create a smooth and fluffy omelet. You can beat the eggs by hand with a whisk or fork, or you can use a blender or food processor.
  • Season the eggs lightly: You can season the eggs with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. Be careful not to over-season the eggs, as this can make the omelet tough.
  • Add fillings carefully: If you are adding fillings to your omelet, such as cheese, vegetables, or meat, be sure to add them just before the eggs have finished cooking. This will help to prevent the fillings from overcooking and becoming tough.
  • Cook the omelet over medium heat: Cooking the omelet over medium heat will help to prevent the eggs from overcooking and becoming tough. You should cook the omelet for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until it is golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the omelet immediately: Omelets are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to ensure that they are fluffy and hot.

Conclusion:

Boiled omelets are a quick and easy breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. They are also a great way to use up leftover ingredients. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect boiled omelets every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give boiled omelets a try!
