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!

fig vinegar? i am assuming this is the balsamic vinegar?

I fixed the recipe to be consistent. Any dark flavored vinegar that you enjoy would be perfect in this recipe.
This dish sounds delicious, I love roasting veggies.

Me too. In fact it’s pretty much the only way I prepare veggies…
I love roasted veggies, especially beets! Looks beautiful.

Beets are one of my favorites too. Can you believe I had never had one until a couple years ago?!?
I used 4 tbs butter and 4 tbs olive oil.
Tossed vegatables, oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, 2 tsp or so dry sage and 2 tsp or so dry rosemary in large bowl and then spread on two baking sheets.
Roasted for 30 minutes and then rotated cooking sheets in oven and roasted for another 30 minutes. No stirring required
Added 4 smoked Polish sausages cut into 1″ pieces for last 30 minutes.
Next time I will line cooking sheets with foil to make cleanup simpler.
A real keeper!!

What a great addition with the sausages!!
I had a beet that was wasting away in the fridge and a lonely turnip too. So I added them and 2 large carrots, all peeled and chunked, into a baking dish. Topped with 2 Tbsp sliced butter, coated with 2 tsp dried sage, half tsp rosemary, salt & pepper. After 1 hour in the oven, stirred, splashed with apple cider vinegar, and served. Very satisfying, and a nice accompaniment to roast chicken. Thanks for sharing!
