Seafood Omelets with Creamy Cheese Sauce

Thin, rich seafood omelets are filled with a crab and shrimp filling and smothered with a luscious Cheddar cheese sauce.

Ingredients

    • Filling:
    • ¼ cup chicken broth
    • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    • ¼ cup heavy cream
    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • 1 (6 ounce) can crab
    • 1 (6 ounce) can salad shrimp
    • Sauce:
    • ¼ cup heavy cream
    • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
    • 1 dash nutmeg
    • salt and ground black pepper to taste
    • Omelets:
    • cooking spray
    • 4 large eggs, beaten
    • ¼ cup heavy cream
    • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Make filling: Stir together chicken broth and mustard in a saucepan until well combined. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then add cream and butter. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until reduced by half. Stir in crab and shrimp; keep warm over low heat.
  2. Make sauce: Stir together cream and mustard in a small pot over medium heat until hot. Whisk in Cheddar cheese until smooth. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper; keep warm over low heat.
  3. Prepare omelets: Grease an 8-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Whisk together eggs, cream, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until smooth.
  4. Pour about 1/4 cup egg mixture into the hot pan; swirl to make a thin, even layer of egg. Cook until firm, then flip and cook for a few more seconds to firm the other side. Spoon 1/6 of the seafood filling onto the lower half of omelet, then roll up into a cylinder. Repeat this step with remaining egg mixture.
  5. Serve 2 omelets smothered in cheese sauce per person.
