CHARLESTON OMELET BAR
I love when I go out to brunch and there's an omelet station. I thought it would be fun to create one at home for when my friends and family come over. Everyone can customize their omelets with their favorite ingredients. For my omelet, I love to add crabmeat, shrimp, sauteed peppers and onions, and Havarti cheese. It's so good!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to its warm setting, or 200 degrees F.
- Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Add the peppers to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. (Add additional oil to the skillet if the vegetables are dry.) Transfer to a bowl.
- Add another tablespoon butter to the skillet. Add the shrimp. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Cook until the shrimp are done and turn pink, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Combine the crab, remaining teaspoon seafood seasoning and remaining teaspoon lemon juice in a bowl.
- Set up the omelet bar: In addition to the onions, pepper and seafood, arrange the cheeses, mushrooms, diced ham, green onions and herbs in bowls on a serving platter.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper in a large bowl. For each omelet, melt 1 tablespoon butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Ladle one-quarter of the egg mixture into the skillet (enough to fill the bottom of the skillet.) Tilt the pan to spread the egg mixture evenly. Use a spatula and loosen the edges and run the uncooked yolk underneath as the omelet cooks.
- Once the eggs are set, place 2 slices of cheese in a single layer to cover the egg. Sprinkle with the desired toppings on one side of the omelet. Carefully fold the omelet in half. Slide the omelet onto a serving plate and repeat with the remaining ingredients. Place the cooked omelets in the warm oven while cooking the remaining omelets, if desired.
CHARLESTON TEA
Steps:
- Stir together the sweet tea, lemonade and bourbon in a large pitcher. Pour into ice-filled iced tea glasses and garnish with sprigs of mint and slices of lemon.
CHARLESTON CRAB CRACK
A traditional crab crack is one of my family's favorite things to make when we all get together. After the crab is boiled, you dump it out on a table covered with newspaper and everyone digs in and gets crackin'. A little drawn butter and some homemade cocktail sauce is all you need to serve with the sweet blue crabs.

Steps:
- For the crabs: Place a large pot of water over medium-high heat outside or indoors. (I like to use a Low Country boil/turkey frying pot.) Add the beer, seafood seasoning and onion and bring to a boil. Boil 10 minutes to season and allow the flavors to develop.
- For the cocktail sauce: While the water boils, stir together the ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice and garlic in a medium bowl. Season with salt if desired.
- Add the crabs to the boiling water. Cook until the crabs are reddish-orange and cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the crabs and spread on a table covered with newspaper or butcher paper. Sprinkle with additional seafood seasoning. Serve with melted butter and the cocktail sauce.
