Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup lump crab meat
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons scallions (green onions), finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons lemon zest (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until fully combined. Set aside.
Step 2
Check the crab meat for any shell pieces and set it aside in a small bowl.
Step 3
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Let it melt completely but do not let it brown.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center while scraping the bottom of the pan.
Step 5
When the eggs are about halfway cooked (still slightly runny), gently fold in the crab meat and scallions. Keep stirring occasionally to ensure an even cook, being careful not to break apart the crab meat too much.
Step 6
Cook until the eggs are soft, creamy, and just set. Remove the skillet from the heat immediately to prevent overcooking.
Step 7
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top and, if desired, garnish with a light sprinkle of lemon zest for a fresh and zesty finish.
Step 8
Serve warm with toast, a side salad, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
