Hi, I am a German Chef and Food Photographer. The imparting of cooking knowledge is my great passion. Everyone can cook for himself and with this website I would like to contribute to its success. Cooking questions I answer you gladly at the end of the articles. Have fun and good luck!

Today I’m going to show you my scrambled eggs with crabs. It’s a cooking quickie for your kitchen.

This egg dish is perfect for an extended breakfast or brunch. At the same time, it is a quick lunch or dinner.

Please get the North Sea crabs very fresh and process them promptly. Small shrimps are an alternative, but do not come close to the original taste of the North Sea inhabitants.

Then let’s get started right away. I hope you enjoy the instructions and my video 🙂 I wish you good luck!

1. Tips for purchasing and preparation

I have already written about scrambled eggs in detail elsewhere. If you are looking for variations on egg dishes, please click on the magic word in the first sentence.

Nevertheless, I will leave you with a few tips here:

Use organic or Demeter eggs, this helps the wildlife and all of us.
Eggs and prawns should be really fresh
Buy herbs according to market supply
Optionally you can think of diced tomatoes for taste and decoration.
Butter and oil or ghee or clarified butter (surely in the house or?)
A suitable pan with coating or new stainless steel technology (ask me)

We could of course talk more about quail eggs now, but I’d like to save that for another day, let’s get to the preparation quickly. After all, I promised a quick number!

Buy fresh crabs, organic eggs taste better, don’t forget herbs!

Demeter organic eggs in the pack, these are natural eggs of different sizes.

Tomato after blanching. — Score the tomatoes and blanch them in boiling salted water for 20 seconds. Then cool them ice-cold, peel them and cut the pure flesh into cubes. I also show you how to prepare tomato concasse step by step.

Ingredients

100-200	g	North Sea crabs
4-5	pc	eggs
1/4	tsp	Salt (I use primal salt or Himalayan salt)
4-6	pinches	Pepper black, ground
1-2	pinches	Cayenne pepper
2	tbs	Herbs (I use thyme or cress)
1	tsp	Sunflower oil
15	g	butter (or olive oil)

Instruction

Prepare the North Sea crabs. Washing the crabs is not absolutely necessary, the smell test makes sure!

Break eggs — Here I cracked the eggs in a bowl and seasoned them with salt and pepper. The yolks and the egg white are easy to see.

Crack the eggs into a bowl and season with salt, pepper and optional thyme.

Mix eggs in a bowl, seasoned with salt and pepper.

Beat the eggs with a fork. You can also prepare the egg dish in portions, but then only beat 2-3 eggs in the bowl.

Pan with oil and butter — The heated pan with oil and butter.

Heat the pan and pour in the oil. Pour the egg into the pan and cook, stirring. Just before serving, add butter at a significantly reduced temperature.
