Ingredients
- 1 medium onion (cut into thin slices)
- 1 green pepper (deseeded and cut into slices)
- 1 yellow/red pepper (deseeded and cut into slices)
- 5 mushrooms
- 7 cherry tomatoes
- 10 oz (275g) or about 8 small salad potatoes (cleaned and cut into slices)
- 3 tablespoons (45mls) olive oil or vegetable oil
- 4-5 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method
- Place the potato slices in a small saucepan and cover with boiling water. Bring to the boil and cook for 5 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Drain and set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large frying pan, until it's hot, add the onion and pepper slices. Turn the heat down and cook the vegetables for 10-15 minutes, until very tender.
- Break the eggs in a large bowl and whisk thoroughly, season to taste. Add the cooked potatoes, onions and peppers, and stir well.
- Put the frying pan back on the heat, add the rest of the oil and turn the heat back up to a medium setting. Pour the eggs and vegetable mixture into the frying pan. Turn the heat down once again to a low setting and cook the omelette, very gently, until there is virtually no liquid egg left on it's surface.
- To finish the omelette, place the frying pan under a grill. Cook for about 3 minutes, until it is set.
This will serve 2-3 people as a main dish
Serving Suggestion
Serve hot or cold, cut into wedges, serve with a side salad

I made a similar recipe awhile back. I think I'll give it another try with your version!
This sounds a lovely recipe and one I will try out soon :)
The difference between a Spanish tortilla and the variety we have here in Texas is amazing.
A Mexican tortilla is simply a flat bread, nothing more. the Spanish variety reads more like a frittata. I'm going to have to give this a shot!
Very nice recipe!
I like the design off your blog!
Hmmm... sounds good. I'll give it a whirl, minus the mushrooms though.
Thanks for the details...
