Crab Omelet

Adapted from several Asian style recipes.
For this, I will use imitation crab meat, it is just fish, and I like it. This is based somewhat on Filipino and Thai Omelets. Some Filipino omelets cook the filling first and later added, and many Thai omelets are just flat with fillings added with the eggs, not folded, so let's combine these methods.

Easiest Deviled Eggs, Ever!

For a basic deviled egg, the egg yolks are mixed with mayo and mustard, well we are not going to do that. So actually, you could call this the laziest way to make deviled eggs, ever. This recipe assumes you already have hard boiled eggs available, and if someone else prepared those, and peeled them, bonus for being even more easy (or lazy). Basically if you have hard boiled eggs, this is just another way to enjoy them.

Brian's Frittata aka Egg Pizza

Brian Colligan, Thailand.
This recipe comes from my good friend, Brian, in northeastern Thailand. This was his creation that follows keto diet rules and is based on simple intuitive cooking, which is how many cooks come up with new dishes. Keto or not, this sounds absolutely delicious! The Egg Pizza part of the name comes from my wife. I made this on 3 Mar 2019 exactly as written and we absolutely loved it, this recipe is a keeper!

Equipment

  • Pie Dish (9 inch)
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 10 eggs
  • 8 strips bacon, cooked crispy, crumbled
  • 1 bell pepper, diced, your choice of color
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3-4 spring onions, whites sliced, greens chopped
  • 125 grams Cream cheese, softened, ½ block, (4 oz)
  • marinara sauce, or pizza sauce, as desired, Shortcut
  • Mozzarella Cheese, shredded, as desired
  • Italian seasoning, as desired, Shortcut

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 180° C (350° F). Lightly grease a 9 inch pie dish with butter.
  • Onion, bell pepper, and spring onions prepped while the bacon is frying.
  • In a mixing bowl or pot, add all the ingredients except the marinara sauce, cheese, and Italian seasoning.
  • Mix to combine, if there is a few lumps of cream cheese, no worries.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-30 minutes or until the center is set (when a toothpick comes out clean), remove from the oven. Now at this point you have a great frittata, now we're going to take it up a notch.
  • Spread the top with marinara sauce as desired, top that with Mozzarella cheese as desired, and sprinkle on some Italian seasoning. I got snap happy with the camera and took the photo before adding the Italian seasoning.
  • Place back in the oven until the cheese is melted.

Notes

Low cost per serving.
Shortcuts: Pizza Sauce, Italian Seasoning.
Variants: 1. Replace the marinara sauce with salsa and replace the Mozzarella cheese with Cheddar cheese and sprinkle with oregano or even taco seasoning - there, you have a Mexican variant, like a Breakfast Burrito without the tortilla. 2. Use plain tomato sauce, oregano, and Cheddar cheese, highly recommended. 3. Add more bacon and use a 7x11 baking dish, highly recommended. 4. Serve with choice of toast, biscuits, or crescent rolls.
