Full speed ahead: Stuffed omelette roll

How many times have you arrived home at dinner time without having any ideas of what to prepare? The Summer omelette roll is a solution to many situations.

In fact, all you need is fresh eggs and a little grated Parmesan cheese to prepare the magical and tasty omelette disc, then you can create the stuffing according to what you find in your fridge and pantry: each time you can serve a roll with a different flavour and colour.

My advice is to always try to use a good amount of vegetables for the stuffing in order to balance the protein- and fat-rich omelette with vitamins and fibre. You can then serve it with a nice slice of wholemeal bread to get the right amount of carbohydrates.

If you are a fan of omelettes, try this Stuffed Omelette.
