Last time at Camp Gecko, I boiled them up as usual and put them in omelets. I got the idea from the light green restaurant next to the bar in San
Felipe. Just today I did the same thing here at home but used a can of crab meat instead. I use about 6 egg whites and one whole egg. I use 2 slices
of low fat or non fat American cheese. Quick and pretty yummy.
