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.)

How To Make crab & asparagus omelette

Step 1

Gather & prep all ingredients:

Step 2

Rinse & dry fresh asparagus (if using canned, drain well.)
Step 3

Cut asparagus into 1-1 1/2" pieces, separating tender tips from stem pieces; set aside.

Chop or shred crabmeat; set aside.
Step 5

In a small bowl or cup, beat egg with fork.
Step 6

Add salt & Old Bay seasoning to egg; beat well.
Step 7

In a small nonstick, melt butter over medium heat.
Step 8

Add asparagus stem pieces; sauté 1 1/2 to 2 minutes; add asparagus tips; saute until asparagus is tender-crisp, about 2-3 minutes depending on size (if using canned asparagus, sauté only long enough to warm.)
Step 9

Add 1/2 of the crabmeat; sauté for approximately 1/2 to 1 minute (to warm the crabmeat.)
Step 10

Evenly pour beaten egg into pan with the crab & asparagus..
Step 11

Cook over medium heat, gently swirling pan, until egg is almost cooked, yet still slightly runny.
Step 12

Using an egg turner, either fold omelette in 1/2 or thirds.
Step 14

Turn heat off; remove to serving plate; garnish as desired.
