Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cooked crab meat (fresh or canned)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onions
- 1/4 cup finely chopped bell peppers (optional)
- 1 tbsp butter or cooking oil
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

- Prepare the ingredients: Ensure the crab meat is clean and free of shells. Chop the onions and bell peppers finely.
- Whisk the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper, and soy sauce (if using) until well combined.
- Cook the filling: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter or oil. Sauté the onions and bell peppers until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the crab meat and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove the filling from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the omelette: Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, tilting to coat the surface evenly. Cook for about 2 minutes or until the edges begin to set.
- Add the filling: Spread the crab mixture over one side of the omelette. Fold the other side over to cover the filling.
- Finish cooking:Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the omelette is fully set and heated through.
- Serve: Transfer the omelette to a plate, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Fresh crab meat is ideal for this recipe, but canned or imitation crab can be used as a substitute.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste preferences.
