Crab and Havarti Omelet image

One of the most iconic foods of the Northwest, Dungeness crab is caught along the ocean coast, in the Puget Sound, and in numerous bays such as Skagit Bay. Here the sweet crabmeat is paired with mushrooms, tomato, Havarti, and green onion for a savory breakfast dish.

Provided by Vicki Butts (lazyme)

Categories     Eggs

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 oz dungeness crabmeat
3 Tbsp unsalted butter
3 mushrooms, wiped clean, trimmed and sliced
4 eggs
1 1/2 Tbsp whipping cream
salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 oz havarti cheese, thinly sliced
1/2 plum tomato, seeded and chopped
1 green onion, choppped

Steps:

  • 1. PICK OVER THE CRABMEAT to remove any bits of shell or cartilage. If the crabmeat is quite wet, squeeze out the excess liquid. Set aside.
  • 2. MELT 2 TABLESPOONS OF THE BUTTER in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until tender and the liquid they give off has evaporated, about 5 minutes; set aside.
  • 3. MELT THE REMAINING TABLESPOON OF BUTTER in a 10-inch omelet pan or skillet (preferably nonstick) over medium-low heat. Whisk the eggs and cream together in a small bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the omelet pan and cook until just barely set, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • 4. Cover the omelet with the cheese and cook until it is melted, about 1 minute.
  • 5. Add the crab, sauteed mushrooms, and most of the tomato and green onion (reserve a little for garnish).
  • 6. FOLD THE OMELET IN HALF and cook for another minute or two to allow the filling to heat through, then gently slide the omelet onto the serving plate. Scatter the reserved tomato and green onion over the top, and cut the omelet in half to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality crab meat: Fresh crab meat will have a sweet, delicate flavor. Avoid crab meat that is frozen or has been sitting in the refrigerator for too long.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: This will help prevent the omelet from sticking and breaking.
  • Don't overcook the eggs: Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery. Cook the eggs until they are just set, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Be generous with the fillings: Don't be afraid to add plenty of crab meat, cheese, and vegetables to your omelet. The more fillings you add, the more flavorful it will be.
  • Serve immediately: Omelets are best served hot and fresh out of the skillet.

Conclusion:

Crab omelets are a delicious and versatile breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect crab omelet every time.
