Dinner for One! Crab and Cheese Omelet
Hubby was working late and I had to make dinner for one. I wanted something that was quick to make and clean up and healthy. I love omelets for any meal so thought I’d throw one together for dinner for myself.
Six years ago when I moved to Boston, I stayed with my brother a few days. He made me a crab meat and cheese omelet. It’s my standard omelet ever. I had some leftover tomato/onion/cilantro mixture from making bruschetta the other day and an avocado that I thought would be great in my standard omelet.
Omelet (by ME!)
2 eggs – I use 1/2 cup Egg Beaters
~1 Tbsp milk – I use Silk Light Vanilla soymilk
Shredded Cheese – I use “Veggie” dairy-free shredded cheddar
1/2 serving imitation crab meat – chopped (comes out to 1 stick if you buy in the stick form)
1/4 cup tomato/onion/cilantro mixture
1/4 cup diced avocado
** Note: make your omelet however you like with whatever ingredients you have on hand
I’m going to assume that you know how to make an omelet. Most people have their own unique process so I’m just going to list the steps I take. Do what you’re comfortable with doing when making your omelet.
Mist some oil into small skillet. Turn heat on Medium.
Beat eggs and milk. Pour into skillet. Scrape sides with spatula and move egg around to evenly coat the skillet.
Add ingredients (minus cheese) to 1/2 of the egg. Cook a few minutes. Add cheese to filling. Turn egg over onto itself to form omelet. Allow to cook a few more minutes to melt cheese.
Enjoy!

I like to stuff my squash with something savory, like spicy sausage stuffing but your dish makes me re-think the whole concept!
WOW this looks so good! Thank you for this recipe!
I’m so glad you liked this. It is absolutely one of our favorite side dishes this time of year. Your pics are beautiful!
what an awesome recipe!!! keeping it in mind…..
This looks so delicious! I have an acorn squash sitting on my counter at home…
This looks awesome! I roasted an acorn squash the other night and chopped it up and threw it in a salad. You’re making me wish I had stuffed it instead though!
I linked to this recipe from Examiner. 🙂
This is awesome! Thanks for the post, the pics are great. Have never tried this before, it is a must. Also we will certainly be telling all of our walnut loving friends about it. This is a perfect post for #WalnutWednesday!
These looks fantastic!! great post 🙂
WOW – these do look like the perfect side dish. Will definitely have to give them a trial run before turkey day.
hmm… is this something you think could be adapted for use with butternut squash? Obviously not really “stuffed”. I have a butternut that I’m looking for something to do with…
Yum!!! 😀
What a delicious and tasty looking recipe! It just screams Fall!
