Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 2 shallots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 2 large Roma tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup mussel meat, cooked and removed from shell
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • ¼ cup green onions, chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 F.
  • In a bowl, combine eggs and salt and pepper to taste. Beat eggs until frothy. Set aside.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onions and garlic and cook until softened.
  • Add tomatoes and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  • Add mussels and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add oyster sauce and stir to combine.
  • Add beaten eggs, swirling pan to fully disperse over mussels.
  • Sprinkle green onions on top.
  • Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until eggs begin to set at the edges but still wet in the middle.
  • Transfer pan to oven. Continue to cook for about 8 to 10 minutes or until eggs are completely set.
  • Remove from heat and cut into wedges to serve.

Notes

  • Thoroughly whip the eggs to remove unmixed white streaks and incorporate air into them for a fluffy texture. Beat until their color is lighter.
  • Cook the omelet on the stovetop until slightly set but still wet, as it will finish cooking in the oven. If it's browning too much before fully set, tent loosely with a foil.
