Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 200 grams Crab meat
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them together with the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 2
Finely chop the chives and set them aside for garnish.
Step 3
In a nonstick skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture.
Step 4
Stir the eggs gently and continuously with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the pan to create creamy, soft curds.
Step 5
When the eggs are about halfway cooked, add the crab meat and gently fold it into the eggs. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
Step 6
Continue cooking the mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully set but still soft and creamy. This should take about 7-9 minutes in total.
Step 7
Squeeze a little lemon juice over the eggs for a fresh, bright flavor.
Step 8
Transfer the eggs with crab meat onto plates and garnish with the chopped chives.
Step 9
Serve immediately, optionally with toasted bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
