Crab and Asparagus Omelette

Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk, a splash
- 2 tablespoons grated Swiss cheese
- ⅓ cup crab meat
- ¼ teaspoon creole seasoning
- ¼ cup asparagus
- Oil or butter, for cooking
Instructions
Prep the eggs:
- Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and beat them well.
- Add milk and creole seasoning to the eggs. Whisk the eggs. Whisk and whisk like crazy. I'm just kidding, I just wanted to make you smile.
Cook the asparagus:
- Saute or steam asparagus. Remove from heat, allow to cool and chop about ¼ cup for the omelette.
Make the omelette:
- Heat a heavy-bottomed 8 inch non-stick sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add the oil and heat.
- Pour beaten eggs into the pan and cook for a couple of minutes.
- With a heat-resistant rubber spatula, gently push one edge of the egg into the center of the pan, while tilting the pan to allow the still-liquid egg to flow in underneath. Repeat with the other edges until there's no liquid left. Your eggs should now resemble a bright yellow pancake, which should easily slide around on the nonstick surface.
- Now gently flip the egg pancake over, using your spatula to ease it over if necessary. Cook for another few seconds, or until there is no uncooked egg left.
- Distribute crabmeat, chopped asparagus and Swiss cheese on one half of the omelette. With your spatula, lift one edge of the omelette and fold it across and over.
Serve:
- Gently transfer the finished omelette to a plate. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs if desired.
