Mama's Crab Omelet


Mama's Crab Omelets
9 Fresh eggs
1 lb fresh crab meat
1 onion diced or ¾ cup
1 green bell pepper diced or ½ cup
2 celery ribs diced or ½ cup
1 stick butter
2 bay leaves
½ lemon, juice only
Salt, pepper, seafood seasoning Tony Chachere's


Melt butter in pan add bay leaves, onion, bell pepper, celery, salt & pepper. Sauté until onion is translucent. Remove vegetables from pan, remove & discard bay leaves, & let the trinity cool. Separate eggs, whites go into a mixer, and yolks into a large boll. Whip whites to a soft peak. As always check your crabmeat and remove any shells, add crab & trinity to the egg yokes. Add a little salt, pepper, & Tony's to your taste.
Remember Tony's has a lot of salt in it, so adjust the amount of salt you add to the amount of Tony's. Add lemon juice.
Stir to mix well, now fold in the egg whites gently
Heat a large nonstick skillet to medium heat.
Add a small amount of butter (for this I use squeeze Parkay) it's too easy. Ladle mixture into the skillet in like pancakes. Three or four at a time depending on the size of you pan. Cook until egg is firm then flip and cook till it's done. On average about 3 to 4 minutes. Stack Omelets and cover to keep warm or cook ahead and warm in the oven DO NOT OVER COOK.


Serve alone, or make sandwiches with mayonnaise, or your favorite condiment.
