Chipotle Hollandaise Sauce

Mixed Greens

Method

Omelet Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, gently mix the lump crabmeat, diced red onion, roasted red pepper, asparagus pieces, and Old Bay seasoning together. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Whisk Eggs

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Cooking the Omelet

  1. 3

    Cook the Filling

    In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add a little oil or butter. Once heated, add the crab mixture and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the asparagus is tender. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  2. 4

    Cook the Omelet

    In the same skillet, pour the egg mixture and let it cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set. Using a spatula, lift the edges and tilt the pan to allow uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.

  3. 5

    Add Filling

    Once the omelet is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, add the prepared crab filling on one half of the omelet. Carefully fold the other half over the filling.

  4. 6

    Finish Cooking

    Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the omelet is fully set and lightly golden. Slide onto a plate and keep warm.

Chipotle Hollandaise Sauce

  1. 7

    Prepare the Hollandaise

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk the egg yolks and lemon juice together. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure the bowl does not touch the water. Whisk continuously until the mixture thickens slightly.

  2. 8

    Incorporate Butter

    Slowly drizzle in the melted butter while whisking constantly until the sauce is thick and creamy. Stir in the minced chipotle and salt.

Mixed Greens Salad

  1. 9

    Prepare the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, chopped parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.

  2. 10

    Dress the Greens

    In a large bowl, toss the mixed greens with the lemon parsley vinaigrette until well coated.

Serving

  1. 11

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the omelet warm topped with chipotle hollandaise sauce, alongside the dressed mixed greens.
