Ingredients
- 4 Egg
- 1 tsp Chili Flakes
- 1 tsp Pepper Powder, black
- Salt, as needed
- ¼ cup Onion, sliced
- ¼ cup Potatoes, chopped
- ¼ cup Oil
- 2 tbsp Coriander Leaves
Instructions
To Sauté the Onion and Potato
- Heat ¼ cup of oil in a pan over medium heat, then add the onions and potatoes when the oil is warm.
- Fry them, stirring occasionally, until they soften.
- Remove the onions and potatoes and set aside. Cool the remaining oil and keep it in a sealed container for future use.
To Prepare the Egg Mixture
- Start by cracking the eggs into a bowl. Season with salt, chili flakes, and black pepper powder to your taste.
- Whip the eggs until they're nice and frothy.
- Fold in the previously fried onions and potatoes, along with fresh coriander leaves, combining everything well.
- Cover the bowl with a lid and let the mixture sit for 15 minutes; this waiting period helps the eggs to thicken.
- After the resting time, check the mixture; it should be thicker, setting you up for a beautifully textured omelet.
To make Perfect Spanish Omelette
- Warm a tablespoon of oil in a medium-heat skillet and pour in your egg mixture. Spread it out for an even cook, watching for the edges to set.
- With a spatula, ease around the omelette edges, ensuring nothing sticks.
- Cover the skillet with a plate, and carefully flip it over—make sure the plate is the right size for the skillet.
- Now with the uncooked side facing down, cook the egg in the pan again to ensure even doneness on both sides.
- Let it cook for another minute or two, then flip it back and slide it off the heat. Your Spanish Omelette is now ready to impress your taste buds!
To Serve
- This hearty Spanish Omelette is fantastic for breakfast, as a snack on an outing, at a gathering, or as a tasty tapas dish at a Spanish-themed event. Enjoy!
