Notes & Wine Advice
Serving Suggestions
Serve the tuna anchovy omelet with sliced tomatoes, cucumber, roasted peppers, or a crisp green salad. For a more substantial meal, add whole-grain toast or roasted potatoes. Browse our breakfast recipes for more combinations.Recipe Notes
Drain the tuna thoroughly so excess liquid does not make the omelet watery. Anchovies are naturally salty, so additional salt is usually unnecessary. Cooking time may vary depending on the depth of the baking pan and the air fryer model. Find more useful dishes in our air fryer recipes.Variations
Add chopped chives, dill, spinach, cherry tomatoes, or roasted bell pepper. Replace the parsley with basil for a sweeter herbal flavor. Explore our fish recipes and Spices & Seasoning recipes for more variations.Wine Advice
A crisp Sauvignon Blanc balances the salty anchovies and rich eggs. A dry Vermentino also complements the Mediterranean tuna and parsley flavors.Nutrition values
