Crab Omelet with Hollandaise Sauce

This is easy, quick, and has a HUGE *WOW* factor!

4 eggs, beaten
1 C. shredded imitation crab flakes
¾ C. shredded cheese (cheddar, mont. Jack, or other)
Pinch of salt
2 T. oil for pan

Heat frying pan on med. with oil and pour in omelet eggs. Cover with lid for a minute or two, or until the eggs begin to firm up. Sprinkle ½ C. of the cheese and crab in center of omelet, fold over and recover, turning heat to low. (if necessary, add a little water to pan to help keep moist while cooking).
Remove omelet from heat and place on serving plate. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and cover with Hollandaise sauce.

Hollandaise sauce:
3 egg yolks, beaten
½ C. butter
1 T. + 1 tsp. Lemon juice
1/8 tsp salt
Dash white pepper
2 T. hot water

* for extra fancy omelet, top with steamed asparagus before adding sauce and cheese.
