The recipe is very easy to make and quick to fry. I think that it could use a boost in flavor, but since I'm a novice cook I don't know what I will add. Right now, it's just my fiance and myself so the recipe allows for leftovers. I also used imitation crab meat. I would recommend this recipe to anyone looking for a quick meal with decent appeal.

Beat the single egg until the white and yolk are mixed. Measure and use half. Yolks can be used in Creme Brulee.

I would like to cut this recipe in half but not sure how to divide up the eggs?
