• Whisk eggs, 1/4 cup cream, salt, and pepper together until smooth. Heat an 8-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat, and lightly oil with cooking spray.

SPANISH OMELETTE

Steps:

• Finely slice the onions and chop the red pepper, removing the seeds. Cut the potatoes into roughly ½ cm slices.
• Heat a knob of butter in a medium (about 24cm) frying pan over a low heat and cook gently for 10 - 15 until starting to go brown, add the peppers and cook for a further 5 mins.
• Put the potatoes in a steamer over boiling water for 10 - 12 mins to soften. If you don't have a steamer, put in a saucepan, cover with boiling water and simmer gently for around 8 - 10 mins until just cooked through and drain well.
• Break the eggs into a jug and beat with a fork, season with a generous grind of pepper and a pinch of salt. Use scissors to snip the chives into small pieces and stir in.
• Heat the grill. Add a little more butter to the frying pan and add the potatoes. Pour over the egg mixture. Cook for 15 mins until almost set and golden brown underneath - you can use a fish slice to lift the omelette up and check. Put the frying pan under the grill. Make sure the handle is outside the oven as it will become very hot and can burn. Cook for a further minute or two and serve.

SPANISH POTATO OMELET

Steps:

• In a large frying pan or skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle potatoes lightly with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown and crisp.
• Once the potatoes are golden, stir in the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions soften and begin to brown.
• Meanwhile, beat eggs together with salt and pepper. Pour eggs into pan and stir gently to combine. Reduce heat to low and cook until eggs begin to brown on the bottom.
• Loosen bottom of omelet with a spatula, invert a large plate over the pan, and carefully turn the omelet out onto it. Slide the omelet back into the pan with the uncooked side down. Cook until eggs are set. Garnish omelet with tomato and green onion and serve warm.

SPANISH SEAFOOD OMELET

Steps:

• Use cast-iron pan, 10-12 inches in diameter and 2-3 inches deep; OR any frying or saute pan deep enough to hold the egg mixture.
• Parboil potatoes by placing them in a saucepan full of lightly salted water; bring to a boil, decrease heat to low and simmer until tender, about 15-20 minutes; drain.
• Heat some olive oil in the pan, and saute the potatoes and onions until lightly browned, stirring frequently.
• Season the potatoes and onions with salt and pepper; remove from pan and set aside.
• Add a little more oil to the pan and saute the shrimp, lobster, and crabmeat in small batches until just barely cooked through; lightly salt, pepper, and add cumin to the seafood as you cook it, turning frequently (don't overcook; it is better to undercook the seafood a bit at this point); remove seafood from pan and set aside.
• There should now be some oil remaining in the pan; for the next step you'll want just enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan; so if there is more than that, drain some off now.
• In a bowl, beat the eggs with a wire whisk; add softened butter, whisking vigorously; you will now have little flecks of butter in the egg mixture.
• Whisk in a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper; add potatoes, onions, and seafood to beaten eggs.
• Heat the remaining oil in the pan to med-hot; pour the egg mixture in the pan and cover.
• Immediately decrease heat to low; cook for approximately 7-10 minutes until the eggs are set and firm.
• Cover the pan with a large plate and flip.
• Return to the pan and fry the other side until just lightly browned.
• Cut the tortilla into 12 wedges and garnish with chopped parsley.

TORTILLA ESPANOLA: SPANISH OMELETTE

Steps:

• Crack the eggs into a bowl. Whisk with a fork and add a pinch of salt.
• Heat some oil in a frying pan (not one with a heavy base as this will prove to be a hindrance when preparing to do the flip).
• Add the potato and fry for a couple of minutes. Add the onion and mash together.
• When the potato starts to brown a little on the edges and is mashed up with the onion in a lumpy fashion then add the eggs. Make sure the potato and onions are fully submerged by the eggs. Poke the potato to allow some of the egg to seep into the mashed mixture.
• Fry this gently on a low heat. While cooking shake the pan to loosen the tortilla from the base and tidy the edges up with a wooden spoon. Do not over cook. The middle is meant to remain runny and gooey.
• The egg will start setting, as this happens place a plate over the pan, a large enough plate to cover the pan substantially, and with a quick co-ordinated movement of both wrists ?flip? the tortilla over onto the plate and slide back into the pan to cook the underside.
• Keep shaking the pan lightly so the tortilla does not stick to the bottom.
• Once it feels firm on the edges and soft in the middle (after about 1 minute) then slide the tortilla back onto the plate. For the brave heart you can do the flip again if you wish.
• Let the tortilla rest for about 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Cut into cake slices or cubes. Garnish with green olives.

SPANISH OPEN-FACED OMELET

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the olive oil and heat. Add the peppers and cook until they start to caramelize, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes.
• Break the eggs into a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and whisk well. Add the eggs to the pepper mixture and stir constantly until curds start to form. Cook until the mixture has begun to set but is still fairly wet.
• Remove from the heat and scatter the olives and Serrano ham over the top. Place in the oven and cook for 5 minutes, or just it is mostly set, but still a little bit moist. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the basil. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and let sit for 5 minutes. Slice and serve.

SPANISH OMELET WITH SMOKED SALMON RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Add the onion to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until translucent and soft. Heat broiler to medium. Whisk the eggs in a bowl together with the dill and some salt and pepper. Tear the smoked salmon into pieces and add to the skillet. Add the mascarpone in dollops. Using a spatula, pull the mixture into the center of the skillet and level it off. Pour the eggs over the top and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the omelet is just set. Put the skillet under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes to lightly brown the top. Slide the omelet out of the skillet and cut into eight wedges. Arrange a handful of salad leaves on each plate and top with two wedges of the omelet.
