Recipe type: Omelet
Cuisine: Amerian
Serves: 2 omelets
Ingredients
  • 4 oz. cream cheese
  • 4 oz. imitation crab, chopped into small pieces
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped (plus more to garnish)
  • 1 minced garlic clove
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons fresh grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 3 tablespoon butter
  • milk
  • salt and pepper
Instructions
  1. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a small non-stick pan, medium heat.
  2. Cook chopped green onions and minced garlic. Stir often, don't let the garlic burn. It will take only a few minutes. Let the mixture cool down.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together cream cheese, chopped imitation crab and the mixture of cooked green onions and garlic.
  4. Beat 2 eggs a splash of milk, a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  5. In the same non-stick pan, melt about 1 tablespoon of butter, use low heat.
  6. Add eggs and let them cook for a few minutes, until almost set and the top has only a small amount of runny eggs left. Flip it gently with a spatula.
  7. Add the crab and cream cheese mixture and spread it in the middle. Fold the omelet in half and press it down gently.
  8. Sprinkle some fresh grated sharp cheddar cheese on the top. Cover with a lid until the cheese is melted.
  9. Transfer to a plate and garnish with some chopped green onion before serving (optional).
Notes
You can put the plate in low-temp oven until you finish making the next one. To make the next omelet, beat 2 more eggs, a splash of milk, a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl and repeat step 5-9. The reason why I don't beat all the eggs at the same time is because then I have to figure out how to divide them equally for each omelet.
