Notes
Makes 1 portion.
Smaženka tastes best warm, eaten immediately after frying. However, you can enjoy this omelet cold as well. You can find and buy this delicacy in many Czech buffets.
This omelet gets a better texture from the addition of bread crumbs, it’s denser and more filling, but still enough soft and fluffy.
