Light, nourishing, and full of seaside flavor—ready in minutes! 🌊🌿
This coastal-inspired omelette is the perfect light summer dish. Fresh clams (also known as slime molds in local dialect) are packed with omega-3s, while spring onions add a delicate sweetness. It’s a quick, protein-rich meal that’s both healthy and satisfying—ideal for lunch, brunch, or a refreshing dinner by the sea.
Ingredients (Serves 1–2)
- 1 small bunch of fresh clams (about 100–150g), cleaned
- 2 fresh spring onions, finely sliced
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Sauté the Clams & Onions
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Add the sliced spring onions and cleaned clams to the pan.
Sauté for about 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the clams are cooked and the onions softened. The aroma will be beautifully savory.
2. Add the Eggs
Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the clams and onions.
Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Let the omelette cook undisturbed for about 2–3 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
3. Flip & Finish
Carefully flip the omelette using a spatula (or fold it in half if preferred). Cook for another 1–2 minutes, or until fully set but still tender.
4. Serve Hot
Transfer to a plate, garnish with a drizzle of olive oil or fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately with a side of crusty bread or a green salad.
