Categories     Breakfast

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 large eggs less 1 egg white
1/3 cup fresh crab meat ((about 1.5 oz or 45 grams))
olive oil
salt
black pepper
thinly sliced chives or scallions ((for garnishing, optional))

Steps:

  • Crack 4 large eggs less 1 egg white into a bowl. It means we need 4 egg yolks and 3 egg whites. Beat well. Add a teaspoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • Place a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add some olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add fresh crab meat. Stir, break the crab meat into smaller pieces and briefly sauté to remove excess moisture. Season with salt to taste.
  • Spread the crab meat pieces evenly and pour beaten eggs into the pan. Lower the heat to low-medium low and wait for a few seconds to let the eggs set around the edges.
  • Once you see the eggs start to set around the edges, use a spatula to pull the set outer edges towards the center. Keep doing that to gather all the egg curds in the center of your pan.
  • Quickly turn the pile of egg curds over so that any undercooked parts can get some heat. Swirl and move around to break up the scrambled eggs slightly.
  • The eggs will continue to cook from residual heat, so remove it from the pan when it's 90-95% cooked to your liking to avoid overcooking. Sprinkle black pepper and chives/scallions (if using) on top and serve immediately.

EGGS WITH CRAB MEAT



Eggs With Crab Meat image

This is an old Madame Wong recipe that I tried for the first time last night. It came out like a great big, loose, egg fu yung, or 'egg stew' and was total comfort food on a cold night. I changed a couple of things (added more egg and scallion and less oil) but this is pretty close to the original recipe. I think this recipe could really be played around with...I plan on trying it with small, cooked shrimp and, perhaps, adding some chopped spinach for more color and nutrition. One thing for sure, don't omit or substitute the fresh ginger!! The ginger is what made this so special for us. A non-stick wok is very useful for this recipe.

SLOW SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH CRABMEAT AND CHIVES



Slow Scrambled Eggs with Crabmeat and Chives image

Provided by Food Network

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
8 whole eggs, beaten with 2 tablespoons whipping cream
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup fresh lump crabmeat, picked over for shells
2 tablespoons fresh snipped chives
1 cup fresh wild mushrooms, sliced
2 teaspoons butter
Salt and pepper
8 toast points

Steps:

  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat in small pan and pour in eggs. With a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir the eggs constantly, lifting up as they start to cook to keep the uncooked eggs on the bottom of the pan. This process takes much patience and a lot more time than regular scrambled eggs. Keep stirring until eggs, finally start to thicken and become creamy in texture. You should not be able to discern any big pieces, just one homogenous mixture. When eggs are cooked, but still creamy, stir in 2 more tablespoons butter, and season with salt and pepper. While eggs are finishing, melt the teaspoon of butter in another pan and gently warm up the crabmeat. Season with salt and pepper and mix in the chives. Divide the eggs among 4 ramekins, egg shells or toast points and top with the warm crabmeat. This dish is even more heavenly with the addition of minced or shaved truffles. Or substitute wild mushroom for the crabmeat.;
  • WILD MUSHROOMS:
  • Saute mushrooms lightly in butter. Season with salt and pepper. Serve over eggs.;

Time 1h12m

Yield 12

6 large eggs
4 ounces fresh crabmeat, divided

½ teaspoon Aleppo pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, divided
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Place cold eggs from refrigerator into a large pot and add enough cold water to cover eggs by 1 inch. Place over high heat, bring to a simmer, and cover pot once eggs start to move around. Remove from heat and let stand for 17 minutes.
