Fruita De Mar Omelet
- 1 1/2 cups lump crabmeat
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups chopped celery
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 1 teaspoon crab boil seasoning (recommended: Old Bay)
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Pinch salt
- 16 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- In a large bowl, combine the crabmeat, onion, celery, mayonnaise, parsley, crab boil seasoning, pepper, and salt.
- Toss gently to keep the crabmeat in lumps.
- Use the mayonnaise to moisten the crab mixture, adding more according to your preference.
- In an 8-inch nonstick pan, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat until foaming.
- Add 1/4 of the crab mix to the pan and cook gently until the celery and onions are crisp but tender, approximately 10 minutes.
- While the crab mix is heating, in a separate large bowl, whip the eggs with a wire whisk until smooth.
- When the crab mix is hot, add 1/4 of the whipped eggs, about 1 cup.
- Cook the omelet until the edges begin to curl.
- Gently pull the edges toward the center, allowing the eggs to cook through.
- Once the eggs have become firm, flip the omelet and cook until the other side is done, about 5 minutes.
- Flip the omelet out of the pan onto a dish and serve immediately.
