60 minutes

Tuna omelette is a refined dish of French cuisine that combines the lightness of eggs with the rich flavor of tender tuna. It embodies the elegance and simplicity of French gastronomy, where each dish is crafted with attention to detail. Historically, the omelette was a favorite breakfast of French chefs, and the addition of tuna gives it a light marine note rich in protein and aromas. Onions sautéed until soft add a sweet depth, while corn oil highlights its velvety texture. This dish is perfect for morning awakening, a light dinner, or an exquisite snack. The omelette can be served with crispy baguette and fresh herbs, creating a harmonious blend of flavors.
