Spanish Potato Omelet
There's nothing too fancy about this rustic Spanish style omelet, just lots of hearty goodness from crispy fried potatoes and onions. Chopped tomatoes and green onions lend even more flavor and color.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/2 pound potatoes, thinly sliced
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 4 eggs
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tomatoes - peeled, seeded, and coarsely chopped
- 2 green onions, chopped
Directions
- In a large frying pan or skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle potatoes lightly with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown and crisp.
- Once the potatoes are golden, stir in the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions soften and begin to brown.
- Meanwhile, beat eggs together with salt and pepper. Pour eggs into pan and stir gently to combine. Reduce heat to low and cook until eggs begin to brown on the bottom.
- Loosen bottom of omelet with a spatula, invert a large plate over the pan, and carefully turn the omelet out onto it. Slide the omelet back into the pan with the uncooked side down. Cook until eggs are set. Garnish omelet with tomato and green onion and serve warm.
Spring Omelet
This recipe is great for enjoying some fresh, spring asparagus and green onion.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (optional)
- 3 spears asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
- 1/3 cup green onions, chopped
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus, mushrooms and onions; cook and stir until the asparagus is fairly soft, about 4 minutes. Whisk together the eggs and milk in a small bowl; pour over the sauteed vegetables and reduce the heat to medium. While the omelet cooks, lift the edge to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath. When most of the egg is cooked, sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top. Allow the cheese to melt slightly, then fold in half and serve.
