Spanish Tortilla

So. A big change in our lives between my last post on the 4th and this one, which is why I haven't been posting. Jenny and I got a dog. Her name is Izzy, and she's great. However, now instead of starting dinner right when we get home, Iz insists we take her for a walk. By the time we're home and ready to start dinner, it's already after 7 o'clock. Now most of what we make and post on the blog is fairly quick and easy, but it's been hard to pull my attention away from Iz long enough to post a new recipe. I'm really sorry about that, but it's our honeymoon phase. Do you really expect anything different?

So on Tuesday night, post run around Peninsula Park, Iz and I made a Spanish Tortilla. Or more accurately, she ate the sausage and cheese that accidentally hit the floor. It was an accident, honest. I love my dog, but I'm not going to waste cheese and sausage. A Spanish Tortilla is a perfect left over meal, and the ingredients, other than the eggs are free game to play around with.

Inspiration: Growling stomach post Walkies
Time: 25 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Special equipment: Oven safe frying pan
Servings: 4

Ingredients:
1 onion, diced
1 potato, diced
1 tbs olive oil
3 chicken apple sausages (pre cooked), diced
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, cut into cubes
5 eggs
Salt and pepper

1. In an oven safe fry pan, saute onion and potato in olive oil over medium-low heat until tender. Add sausage and cook until warm.
2. Lightly beat eggs with salt and pepper. Pour over onions, potatoes and sausage. Sprinkle cheese over the top. Let sit until eggs have firmed up. Do not stir (this isn't a scramble...it's a Tortilla!)
3. Once eggs have set up, place pan under broiler in oven to brown the top. Please remember that your pan will be very, very hot when you go to remove it. Sounds simple, but it's easy to forget.
4. Let sit for 5 minutes to cool. (it comes out of the pan better this way)
