How to Make Scrambled Eggs with Crab Meat

Making Crab Scrambled Eggs is a relatively straightforward process that can be done in no time! To begin, heat a greased pan over medium heat. Add the crab meat and briefly sauté it for around one minute to remove any excess moisture. Then, remove the crab meat from the pan and set it aside.

Grease the same pan again and set it back over medium heat. In a bowl, whisk together whole eggs and egg whites until light and frothy. Toss in chunks of  low fat cream cheese, then pour this mixture into the heated pan.

Use a spatula to scramble the eggs until they’re almost set. Once the eggs are nearly cooked through, add in the reserved crab meat as well as Old Bay seasoning, black pepper and reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese. Stir everything together and let it cook through before removing from the heat. Garnish your Crab Scrambled Eggs with fresh chives before serving for a delicious breakfast treat!

  • Cheese – Elevate the creaminess of your crab scrambled eggs with a generous sprinkle of a different type of cheese. Swap the cheddar with gruyère or feta – both are excellent choices that complement the delicate flavors of the crab meat.
  • Herbs – Enhance the dish’s aroma and flavor by incorporating fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro or dill. These herbs not only add a pop of color to your plate, but they also bring a refreshing touch to the rich, savory taste of the crab and eggs.
  • Veggies – Boost the nutritional value and texture of your crab scrambled eggs by including vegetables such as chopped bell peppers, spinach, tomatoes or asparagus. Sauté the veggies before adding them to the eggs to ensure they’re tender and flavorful.
  • Spices – Spice things up by adding a dash of paprika, cayenne pepper or more Old Bay seasoning. This will give your crab scrambled eggs a subtle kick, making it perfect for those who enjoy a bit of heat in their meals.
  • Avocado – For a dose of healthy fats, try incorporating diced avocado into your eggs. The creamy texture of the avocado pairs well with the crab and adds an extra layer of richness to the dish.
  • Bacon or Prosciutto – Add some salty, smoky goodness to your crab scrambled eggs by mixing in crispy bacon or prosciutto. The bold flavors of these meats provide a fantastic contrast to the delicate taste of the crab.
  • Mushrooms – Sautéed mushrooms, such as shiitake or cremini, can be a delicious addition. Their earthy flavors and meaty texture complement the dish beautifully.
  • Salsa or Hot Sauce – Drizzle some salsa or hot sauce over your eggs for a burst of tangy heat. This combination adds an extra zing that will make your taste buds dance with delight.
  • Add a SmartCarb – You can serve your crab scramble with a fiber-rich SmartCarb, such as whole grain toast, potatoes or fresh fruit.
