Squid stuffed with egg

Stuffed squid is not only a tasty but also a healthy dish. You can make any filling: with cheese, with mushrooms, with vegetables, with an egg, or use all the ingredients at once. To make the dish tasty, you need to choose fresh squid. Pay attention to the color of the meat under its skin: it should be light cream, but not white. Fresh squid has a slight fishy smell, there are no dents or spots on the skin.
