Cajun Crab Omelettes w/ Jalapeno Hashbrowns + A Cajun Waltz

After mentioning it in my last post, I've received a flurry of requests for my crab meat omelette recipe. This scrumptious omelette is a favorite at my house and is just packed with flavor. The taste of succulent lump crab meat, cheese, and veggies , paired with the heat of the jalapenos is divine, and sure to get your day started off right. Serve with jalapeno hash browns and cornmeal biscuits for a delightful breakfast that will please your family and guests. Bon appetit!

2 tsp.'s minced garlic
1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup red onion, chopped
1/8 cup each, green and red bell pepper, chopped

In a large bowl, lightly beat eggs. Whisk in half and half, and Cajun seasoning and set aside. Melt butter in 1o inch skillet, and saute onions, peppers, jalapeno, and garlic for 5 minutes.

Fold in half, cook for 3 minutes, flip and cook for 3 more minutes, or until cheese melts. Cut in half, or thirds,  and garnish with  parsley.  Serves 2 or 3,  depending on the appetite. Sinfully delicious!
