25 minutes

Omelet with seafood and greens is a refined dish of European cuisine that combines the tenderness of eggs with the richness of marine flavors. Originating as a variation of the classic omelet, this recipe highlights the versatility of seafood and their ability to fit into any gastronomic tradition. Shrimp and squid add lightness and sophistication to the dish, while fresh parsley brings brightness and aroma. Soy sauce adds a subtle spiciness, and sweet pepper contributes juicy sweetness. The texture of the omelet is airy, thanks to a special method of whipping egg whites and yolks separately. It is perfect for both a morning breakfast and a light dinner. Serving it warm with a soft inner layer makes this dish a true culinary delight.
