We drove up to our cottage in Maine after I got out of work yesterday. I wanted to celebrate this glorious sunny spring morning with a special breakfast for my husband and me! I didn't want pancakes or an egg sandwich. So as I was hanging on the refrigerator door it came to me as I was doing a visual inventory of it's contents - lump crabmeat, farm fresh eggs, block of cheddar, milk, strawberries . . . ding, ding, ding, we have a winner! Lump crabmeat omelet's!
Ingredients
2 fresh large eggs
1/3 cup of milk
1/3 cup lump crabmeat
1/3 cup fresh grated cheddar cheese
olive oil
Directions
Beat the eggs & milk, add oil then egg mixture to a hot skillet. When the egg starts to cook loosen around the edges, and continue to loosen the egg, little by little. Add the crab, put the cheese on top of that, fold over the other side of the egg. Sprinkle some looks cheese on top and enjoy!
Serve with a cup of hot tea, an English muffin and a small piece of fruit and enjoy!
The only way I can think of improving this delicious meal is to add fresh asparagus to the omelet!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Crab meat is always special and your omelet looks magnificent. Love your new header too.

Now there's a Maine breakfast! And I suppose it might also work with lobster (if anyone can afford to splurge just now) or perhaps some tiny Downeast shrimp. I've got to stop this. I'm getting hungry.
ReplyDeleteHi there, Oh this looks delicious and you are making me hungry. Hubby and I love crab; we both grew up in Ca. and had it a lot. I will definitely have to try this. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

That sounds just wonderful. I LOVE crab AND lobster! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThis is my kind of food and I would love this omelet.
ReplyDeleteYum, I have crab and eggs in my fridge as well…your omelet sounds great. According to our landscaper, we still have lots of snow at the lake and won't be able to get down the road to our cottage in Maine anytime soon. :( By the way, I've been having trouble with my comments going through on blogspot and blogger again…hopefully the glitch is fixed now.
ReplyDeleteHaha! ... hanging on the refrigerator door? I love the image! Who asn't wagged the door back and forth just looking for inspiration and magic ingredients ?!? LOL! looks like you came up a winner, dearie!
ReplyDeleteLooks good!
ReplyDeleteWish I had been there! It sounds delicious, a perfect breakfast!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that could make this better would be for me to be there to eat it!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so delicious! I love crab, and all seafood.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful...delicious.. breakfast...looks so pretty too...The snow is beginning to melt, but ever so slowly. How are things at OOB? Before we know it the tourists will be arriving...the beaches will become crowded and we'll be wishing for fall...thats how the world turns!...Sending well wishes...
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious meal. I envy cooks who can look into the fridge, survey what's there, and concoct a recipe then and there. It's not my natural bent, that's for sure. Good thing there are blogs like yours to inspire me to keep trying.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I thought I'd add, the other day I found a new ice cream flavor. It is made by Hood, and it's called "Old Orchard Beach Whoopie Pie". I couldn't resist buying it. All who tried it (including me) gave it a thumbs up. Thought you might like to know, if you haven't seen it already.
ReplyDeleteI bought fresh Florida veggies at the store today. I came over to visit you and tell you I was thinking of you. I hope you are doing well. Have a good weekend my friend! Sweet hugs!
ReplyDeleteI'd never thought of 'fish' in omelets; sounds delicious, I shall try it.
ReplyDeleteThat looks yummy! I love making omelets. Crabmeat makes it gourmet.
ReplyDeleteohmygosh...could I ever eat that up right now! Breakfast is my favorite meal, right before lunch, supper and snacks and I adore crab.
