Expert Tips That I Recommend
- Do not overmix the crab; gently stir it with seasoning and chives.
- It is advisable to remove the omelet from the heat while eggs are still moist and glossy. As they continue to cook in residual heat, they will result in a tender texture.
- Avoid overmixing eggs to enjoy a tender, fluffy omelet texture.
- Make sure the crabs are well drained, as excess moisture can affect browning and prevent the cheese from melting.
Recipe Variation for Different Diets
- Keto Version: Swap regular bread with keto bread.
- Gluten-Free Version: Instead of regular bread, use gluten-free bread.

Can I add imitation crab?
Yes, of course you can use it. But there will be a slight difference in the flavor, as imitation crab will be milder and sweeter than the real crab.

If the omelet turned out watery, it was probably because the crab was not properly dried, the vegetables were undercooked, or you were cooking at a high temperature. Do check all these factors before preparing the crab.
