crab & asparagus omelette
(1 rating)
This is a quick and easy omelette, with the flavors of sweet crabmeat and Old Bay seasoning, asparagus and the "gooey-goodness" of soft, melted mozzarella. Delish! (The omelette in the photo was made with our homegrown asparagus, which didn't do so well this year; the stalks were very skinny.)
