- When selecting mushrooms, look for those that are firm and have a fresh smell.
- When selecting crabmeat, choose real crabmeat for the best flavor, or use imitation crabmeat for a lower-cost option.
- Substitute the crabmeat for cooked and crumbled bacon. This substitution will add a smoky flavor to the omelette and provide a more savory, meaty texture.
- Substitute the Swiss cheese for cheddar cheese. This substitution will add a sharp, tangy flavor to the omelette and provide a more robust flavor profile.
Vegetarian Omelette Replace the crabmeat with 1 cup of diced red bell pepper and 1 cup of diced zucchini. Omit the shrimp and replace the Swiss cheese with 1/2 cup of feta cheese.
