Crispy Omelette Lumpia

I am a chef on a luxury world cruise liner. I love to cook and write recipes that are inspired by foods from all over the world.

Lumpia is the Filipino version of fried egg rolls or spring rolls. Typically, they are stuffed with vegetable or meat fillings.

In this recipe, I'll show you how to make delicious breakfast lumpia that are stuffed with a fluffy omelette filling. The texture combination of crispy and fluffy is delightful!
