Cultural Context

The Spanish Cheese Omelet, or Tortilla Española, is a classic dish originating from Spain, traditionally made with just eggs, potatoes, and onions. It is a staple in Spanish cuisine, often served as a tapa or light meal. The addition of cheese adds a creamy texture that modern variations embrace, making it a favorite for breakfast or brunch across the globe.

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: no cheese

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

1

Wash and slice 2 medium-sized potatoes thinly.

2

Chop 1 medium-sized onion finely.

3

Heat olive oil in a pan until hot.

4

Add the sliced potatoes to the pan and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to change color.

5

Add the chopped onion to the pan and mix it with the potatoes.

6

Season with salt and 1 teaspoon of chili flakes, then mix well and sauté for another 2-3 minutes.

7

In a separate bowl, crack 6 eggs and whisk them with salt until well combined.

8

Check the potatoes; they should be soft. Mix the potato and onion mixture into the egg mixture.

9

Add 1/2 cup of cheese to the mixture (optional) and mix well.

10

Transfer the mixture to a pan over low heat, cover, and let it cook for about 5-6 minutes.

11

After 5-6 minutes, check the bottom; it should be well-cooked. Carefully flip the tortilla using a plate and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden.

12

Slice the tortilla into wedges, similar to cutting a pizza, and serve.
