Recipe 1: Tortilla with Cheese

Ingredients

  • 2 tortillas
  • 3 large eggs
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 10 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 spring onions, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 100g mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 100g feta cheese, crumbled

Instructions

  2. In a bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and black pepper. Make sure to whisk them well until they are fully combined.
  3. Place one tortilla on a baking sheet and spread half of the egg mixture evenly over it. This helps to ensure that the ingredients stick well.
  4. Layer half of the cherry tomatoes, spring onions, diced bell pepper, shredded mozzarella, and crumbled feta on top of the tortilla.
  5. Pour the remaining egg mixture over the ingredients, spreading it gently to cover everything.
  6. Place the second tortilla on top, pressing down slightly, and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the top is golden and the eggs are set.
  7. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing it into wedges. Serve warm.

Tips

  • Feel free to add other vegetables or herbs you have on hand, such as spinach or parsley, to enhance the flavor.
  • If you prefer a crispier texture, bake a few extra minutes, but keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
