Seafood omelets are a delightful and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Whether you prefer the delicate flavor of crab or the rich, briny taste of lobster, there's a recipe here to suit your palate. This article presents two variations of seafood omelets: a classic lobster omelet and a crab and asparagus omelet. Both recipes are easy to follow and use fresh, high-quality ingredients to create a satisfying and flavorful meal.
The lobster omelet features succulent lobster meat, creamy cheese, and aromatic chives, all wrapped in a fluffy egg blanket. It's a luxurious dish perfect for a special occasion or a lazy weekend brunch. The crab and asparagus omelet, on the other hand, combines the sweetness of crab with the crunch of asparagus and the tanginess of lemon.

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.

- If you don't have a nonstick skillet, you can grease a regular skillet with butter or cooking spray to prevent the omelet from sticking.
- Serve the omelet immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and cheese.
