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.
This recipe is gluten free, vegetarian and Weight Watchers friendly

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.

Is it cooked slices of bacon or do you chop it up? Thanks
