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!

YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY! I love this idea!! 🙂
Perfect! I crave sugar cookies a lot but just can’t handle the rolling out process sometimes.
These look yummy! My kids are always asking me to make sugar cookies and I start out strong and by the end am regretting making them. This may be the perfect tradeoff.
Yum! These look delicious and way easier than frosting individual cookies!
What a great idea – I rarely take the time to make cookies since bars are so much faster and just as tasty. I love all the sprinkles too 🙂
Just the recipe I was looking for – I may have to try it this week as an Easter treat for my coworkers.
Anyone who is thinking about making these definitely should. They’re seriously SO GOOD. I just made them Sunday and I’m making them again for Easter.
I had the same reaction when they popped up in my google reader – and now again this time. They are on my list!
I keep seeing these and now I must try them. I love, no crave, sugar cookies all the time.
I will be making this soon! Looks incredible!
Thanks for sharing!
Yum, I’ve made these before. They are excellent and soooo much easier. Yours looks good. I’m going to try them with buttercream instead of cream cheese frosting next time.

I think it will be better to put up the size of the baking pan too.
Thank you very much for the recipe. =D
