For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry sherry or white wine to the mushrooms while they're sautéing. Be careful not to overcook the omelet, as it will become dry. It should be slightly soft in the center when you fold it. Feel free to substitute other types of cheese, such as Gruyere, Fontina, or even a sharp cheddar, depending on your preference. If you don't have fresh crabmeat, high-quality canned crabmeat can be used, but be sure to drain it well. To ensure perfectly beaten egg whites, make sure your bowl and beaters are completely clean and free of any grease.

01 Step
Recipe View 7 mins Sauté the Mushrooms: Melt the butter in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate using a slotted spoon, leaving the butter in the skillet. Remove skillet from heat. (Prep time: 7 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View 10 mins Prepare the Egg Base: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and milk until well combined. In a separate, impeccably clean bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gently fold the yolk mixture into the egg whites, being careful not to deflate the whites. The mixture should be light and airy. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View 3 mins Cook the Omelet: Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Ensure the remaining butter is shimmering. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the sautéed mushrooms and crabmeat over the top of the egg mixture. Cook until the omelet begins to set around the edges and the bottom is lightly golden, about 3 minutes. (Cook time: 3 minutes)
