Whisk eggs, egg yolk and crème fraîche to combine, add crab meat and season to taste

with sea salt and freshly ground white pepper.

Heat a 24cm omelette pan or frying pan over medium heat, add 20gm butter and melt

then shake pan to coat base with egg mixture evenly. Using a spatula or fork, draw the
cooked egg away from edges of pan allowing raw mixture to flow underneath and cook.
Repeat for about 1 minute or until omelette is cooked, then turn out onto a plate and fold.

Heat a separate small frying pan over medium heat, add remaining butter and cook,

heat and add lemon juice and parsley. Drizzle butter mixture over omelette and serve
immediately.
