Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
• 1 cup lobster or crab meat (cooked and shredded)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons green onions (thinly sliced)
• 1 cup cheese (cheddar, Gruyère, or your choice, shredded)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the lobster or crab meat, cooking for 1-2 minutes until warmed through. Remove the seafood mixture from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 4

Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and return it to medium heat. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, swirling to coat the surface of the pan evenly.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture into the pan and let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set. Use a spatula to gently lift the edges, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded cheese over one half of the omelet. Follow with the seafood mixture and green onions, spreading evenly over the cheese.

Step 7

Once the cheese begins to melt and the omelet looks mostly set (but still a little moist on top), use a spatula to carefully fold the unfilled half of the omelet over the filling.

Step 8

Cook for another 1-2 minutes to warm the filling through and ensure the eggs are fully set.

Step 9

Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
