Crab & Avocado Omelette
From 'The Road to Mexico' by Rick Stein
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.
