Ingredients
- Eggs
- 4 large
- Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Butter
- 1 tablespoon
- Fresh spinach
- 2 cups, chopped
- Crab meat
- 1 cup, cooked and shredded
- Cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup, shredded
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the salt and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- In a non-stick skillet, heat the butter over medium heat until melted and bubbly.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes, or until wilted and tender.
- Gently fold in the crab meat and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Pour the beaten eggs over the spinach and crab mixture, ensuring an even distribution.
- As the edges start to set, use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the omelette and tilt the pan to allow the uncooked egg to flow to the edges.
- Once the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelette.
- Carefully fold the omelette in half over the cheese and cover the skillet with a lid.
- Cook for another 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelette is fully cooked through.
- Slide the omelette onto a plate, cut in half if desired, and serve hot with a garnish of fresh herbs or a light salad.
Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of paprika to the eggs before cooking.
- Feel free to replace cheddar with your favorite cheese, such as feta or goat cheese, for a different taste experience.
- This omelette pairs beautifully with a side of toasted sourdough bread or a light citrus salad.
