Chef's Tips

For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle a little honey or date syrup over the omelet before serving. A sprinkle of pistachios can also add a nice color and crunch.

Easy Substitutions

Almonds can be used instead of walnuts. If you don't have saffron, you can omit it, though it adds a lovely aroma and color. A pinch of cinnamon can be used in place of cardamom for a different flavor profile.
