Crayfish Omelette

Well that was a bit of a surprise!!!

I bought some crayfish the other day to go with the vegetable couscous I fancied as I was wandering around Tesco (ended up having the veg couscous with feta)....and when I checked the fridge this morning the best by date was today....uh oh....had to think of how to use them up....so did my standby omelette for breakfast. Normally hubby does brunch for us both on a weekend but this morning he fancied a fry up....can't fault him....so I was searching for inspiration...didn't expect to find it in a packet of crayfish tails....I usually have them in a salad or with veg couscous.

So I peeled a few cherry tomatoes and chopped a tiny bit of red onion to go with them and mixed them into some Two Chicks Egg White......

I use one of these to mke my omelettes in the microwave because I don't have to use any oil at all and its so quick and easy....I got mine in my WW meeting

So....a 30 sec blast in the microwave...a stir and then another 30 sec blast....another stir and a 20 sec blast and my omelette was done...I served it seasoned with salt and black pepper with two slices of WW malted Danish spread with Quark  ....yummy

Just a word about Butterbuds as well....these are a great substitution in dishes. Its marketed as a butter substitute but if you are looking for something to spread on your crumpets this isn't the product I would recommend....what I would recommend it for is to use in dishes where you want to remove some of the fat content but retain a bit of a creamy flavour....I use them all the time in my omelettes. I also use them in other dishes which require eggs for example when I make a quiche I substitute some of the egg for egg white and add a butterbud or two or if I want to remove some of the butter from a recipe I will think about substituting Butterbuds and if I just want to add a glossy shine to my steamed veg I'll dissolve a couple in hot water and drizzle them over. I make a judgement for each new recipe I find. They can be purchased in different packages on the internet (and I think I might have seen them on Lakelands website so they may be in their stores too, can't be sure of that though) I buy them in these sachets.

So when I put this through the Recipe Builder in WW the crayfish came out as 0sp although when I pointed them on my WW calculator prior to doing my omelette 60g came out at 1sp....will be checking with my WW leader....so the only points were in 1 1/2 slices of WW malted Danish bread ....2sp....result!! But to be fair even if the crayfish are pointed at 1sp its still a winner.
Going to use the other half of the pack tomorrow and will probably add some spices....going to google what will go well with them later...will post the result.
