- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1/2 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (or chile powder)
- 1 tablespoon Butter (For greasing pan. Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1/2 cup Spanish sauce (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves (For garnish. Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
Instructions
- 1In a small bowl, combine the fine sausage, bread crumbs, and milk. Mix well to combine. Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the milk.
- 2In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until light and frothy. Add the chopped parsley, salt, and red pepper flakes (or chile powder). Mix well.
- 3Add the egg whites to the yolk mixture and gently fold to combine. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt and coat the pan. Pour the egg mixture into the hot pan. Cook slowly until the omelet is set but still slightly moist on top, about 5-7 minutes. Gently fold the omelet in half.
- 4Turn the omelet out onto a plate. Cover with Spanish sauce. Garnish with lettuce leaves or fresh parsley.
