Crabmeat and Mozzarella Omelet

By Courtney 37 Comments

Obviously, I love sweet treats. When given a choice between sweet and savory, especially for breakfast, I’m usually tempted by baked goods.

But give me an amazing egg dish — one stuffed with seafood and cheese — and I’ll happily dig in.

And now, here’s my love letter to this Crabmeat and Mozzarella Omelet. There really just are not enough words.

Crabmeat and Mozzarella Omelet

I love sitting down to plan out and test recipes, but this one started with an impulse buy — I’d picked up a package of Trans-Ocean Crab Classic on a whim, after seeing that it was on sale. Then, as I went through the fridge to check on our supplies, I noticed that the expiration date was fast approaching.

So, I scrambled (bad pun!) to come up with a way to use it.

Crabmeat and Mozzarella Omelet

Luckily, I didn’t have to think too hard because there was a recipe right on the package for a Crabmeat and Mozzarella Omelet and it sounded so good, I gave it a try.

This crabmeat and mozarella omelet feels fancy and indulgent because of the rich ingredients but is quick and easy to make! Click To Tweet

So here’s what went into my omelet:

  • -1/4 cup diced red onions and red pepper
  • -salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Saute red pepper and onions until soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from pan.
  2. Add crabmeat to pan and saute with cooking spray until heated through, 2-3 minutes
  3. Spray pan and add eggs/egg substitute. When first side is done, flip over, fill with crabmeat, cheese, peppers, onions, salt and pepper. Fold over to form the omelet.

Crabmeat and Mozzarella Omelet

I honestly never thought I could love crabmeat crab-flavored seafood so much. I mean, seriously…this omelet was just fantastic. Has anyone else ever tried this combo?? Amazing, I tell you!

I served some mixed greens alongside my omelet, sprinkled with the rest of my peppers and onions and a drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette. So, so good.

Crabmeat and Mozzarella Omelet

But while we’re on the subject of omelets, I need to ask you all a little question…

How do YOU spell omelet? Omelet or omelette?

I honestly just keep using “omelet” because that’s what Windows Live Writer seems to tell me is correct, but I’ve seen it written both ways and am never quite sure…?

    I use Windows Live Writer as well and have gotten used to spelling it omelet. I haven't gotten the Crab Classic stuff in a while, but it's great for adding seafood to a pasta dish as well (I tossed mine in a little butter to flavor, then added it with pesto sauce). Favorite seafood is seared tuna. As in, toss it on the grill to make the outside just turn color and then take it off. Mmmm. Second to that are steamed Maryland crabs. I could destroy some of those right about now.

    OH crud, I had a funny response and I lost it. I use omelet - just because it's easier to remember. I can never remember how many m's and t's and l's are in omelette (Google Chrome is telling me that's wrong too...). My fave seafood is little neck clams - mmmm I can eat them raw with horseradish or hot sauce, or steamed with drawn butter OMG.

    post yoga, it's always ommmmmmmmmmm-let. And my favorite seafood (so far!! just dipping my toes into the vast ocean of options as a seafood newbie) has to be blackened mahi mahi. Always a treat, I had it for dinner last night and lunch today. One mahi for each!

    I've seen it spelled both ways too. I use omelet. I don't really do seafood. Maybe it's because I grew up in the land of beef and cattle but I've never really developed a taste for it. I have been able to eat fresh trout and some other clean tasting white-fleshed fish, but it's never my preference. One regret I do have though - we honeymooned in Bar Harbor, Maine and DIDN'T eat fresh Maine lobster. I just didn't want to spend the money on something I was pretty sure I wouldn't like so we didn't...regret it now...if only for the experience.

    The first question just took me by surprise now I don't know which one I normally use. Guess I don't spell it out often enough to know lol. Definitely a lover of crab!! Had the best crab quiche ever when I was on my honeymoon in July!

    I usually spell it omelet but always want to be fancy with the extra t and e. For some reason I think that's the French way of spelling it so it could be right either way. Shrimp is definitely my favorite seafood!

    I have always spelled it omelet. Your crab omlete looks so good! I love steamed crab legs, shrimp, fish, lobster, crab almost all seafood. There are several things I don't like and I'm kind of picky of how it's cooked.

    I have no idea how I usually spell it! I guess I must not type that word all that often??? I love imitation crab meat. I used to make crab salad sandwiches a lot when I was younger, but somehow I lost track of that. My favorite seafood is (REAL) king crab, but scallops are a close second. Honestly, there's not much seafood I don't like!

    This is what I found: "For the dish consisting of beaten eggs cooked until set and folded over, Australian, British, and Canadian writers prefer the French spelling, omelette. American writers prefer omelet by a wide margin, and U.S. dictionaries and usage guides concur."

    I love seafood. My favorites are salmon, cod(which I'm baking tonight), shrimp, and scallops. I love to get creative with stir frys and sometimes I like to just grill or bake salmon and have it with a sweet potatoe.

    raised in Maryland on blue crabs, i find your use of FAKE "crab" blasphemous b/c it is, well, disgusting. try the real thing, you won't regret it! PS plz at least change the name of the recipe so it won't come up in other's search for a crab omelet recipe and waste their time - it's rather disingenuous.
