Crab & Avocado Omelette
From 'The Road to Mexico' by Rick Stein
Not all Mexican breakfasts need to be complicated, as Rick Stein found out in Oaxaca where he came up with this simple and delicate omelette:Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp Parmesan cheese, grated
- 20g butter
- 80g crab meat
- 70g white, mixed with 10g brown
- ½ avocado; stoned, peeled, and diced
- ½ green serrano or jalapeno chilli, finely sliced (seeds in)
- 1 tbsp coriander, chopped, plus a few sprigs
- 2 spring onions, white part only, finely sliced
Recipe
- Crack 3 of the eggs into a bowl and beat them lightly to break up the yolks. Season with a pinch of salt and half the Parmesan cheese.
- Heat a 20cm non-stick frying pan, add half the butter and wait until it has melted and is sizzling.
- Add the eggs and let them bubble for a few seconds. Using a wooden spatula, gently draw in the sides, let the eggs set for 30-60 seconds, then repeat to mix the cooked egg with the uncooked egg.
- Sprinkle half of the crab meat, avocado, spring onions, sliced chilli, and coriander over half of the surface of the omelette and let them heat through for up to 1 minute. The omelette should be soft and only semi-set.
- With the spatula, flip the uncovered half of the omelette over the filling to form a half-moon shape.
- Slide it on to a serving plate and keep it warm whilst you make the second omelette in the same way.
- Serve immediately, sprinkled with a few sprigs of coriander.
