Omelette Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- ¼ red chilli, finely chopped
- 3 asparagus spears, finely chopped
- 1 tsp butter
- 50g white crabmeat
- Handful baby spinach
Instructions
- Preheat Grill: Heat the grill to the highest setting to prepare for the final cooking phase of the omelette.
- Prepare Eggs: Whisk the 3 eggs in a bowl thoroughly and season with salt and pepper to taste to create a well-mixed base.
- Melt Butter: Place a sauté pan over medium heat and melt 1 teaspoon of butter evenly to coat the base of the pan.
- Cook Eggs: Pour the whisked eggs into the pan and let cook undisturbed for 2 minutes, allowing the base to set slightly but the top to remain runny.
- Add Fillings: Spoon in 50g of white crabmeat and the chopped asparagus into the center of the eggs. Sprinkle the finely chopped red chili over the top and nestle the handful of baby spinach within the omelette.
- Grill the Omelette: Transfer the pan to the preheated grill and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the spinach has wilted and the omelette has puffed up, indicating it is cooked through and fluffy.
- Serve: Carefully remove from the grill, fold or slide the omelette onto a plate, and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Use fresh white crabmeat for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust the amount of chili according to your spice preference.
- If you do not have a grill, cooking covered over low heat on the stovetop can help wilt the spinach and cook the top of the omelette.
- This recipe serves one and can be doubled for more servings.
