Tortilla Espanola is normally cooked in a skillet/frying pan. But I find it easier to put everything in a quiche type dish and bake in the oven.

Author: Slimming Eats
Ingredients
- 3 large potatoes (I used Yukon Gold’s), sliced
- 6 eggs
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- ¼ teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 Medium onion chopped
- 5 slices of lean cooked bacon (omit for Green/Vegetarian)

- olive oil spray
- Freshly chopped Italian Parsley
Method
- Preheat oven to 180c of 350f
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the potatoes and parboil for about 5 minutes until almost tender (not too soft). Drain and set aside.
- Whisk together the eggs, cheese, salt and pepper and set aside.
- Spray a pan over a medium heat with some olive oil spray and brown the onion until softened.
- Using a flan or quiche type dish, spray with some olive oil. Add a layer of potatoes slices, then the cooked bacon and onion and then another layer of potatoes slices.
- Pour the egg mixture over the top and bake in the oven until set and golden. Top with some freshly chopped Italian parsley
- Serve a slice with a mixed salad or vegetables of your choice.

How many people does this serve? It sounds dead yummy, and I live on my own so just want to know how much to reduce the ingredients by! Thanks x
How long does this take in the oven?
approx 30 mins, it will vary depending on the oven. You will know it is done, when the top is nice and goldnen. 🙂
Can you tell me the sun values on red and green days?
that looks really good, I shall make this tonight for tea with salad
just made this tonight. Very easy (and I'm not much of a cook). Just tasted a slither while it was hot...mmmm! another portion going to be cold with salad for lunch tomorrow too 🙂
We loved this tortilla, so easy to make and flavour was lovely. We had it salad and gluten free soda bread. Yummy, hubby had it for lunch the next day to.
