Spanish Zucchini Tortilla

A warm, comforting tortilla with tender potato, sautéed onion, thinly sliced zucchini, and seasoned eggs.

What You Will Need

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small potato, peeled and chopped
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • ½ small zucchini, thinly sliced
  • 6 eggs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan and sear the potato and onion over medium-high heat for about 4 minutes.
  2. Add the zucchini and sauté for another 4 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, whisk the eggs and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Transfer the vegetables from the pan into the bowl with the eggs and mix well.
  5. Using the same pan, add the egg and vegetable mixture over low heat. Make sure everything is evenly distributed.
  6. After about 3 minutes, run a spatula around the outer edges of the tortilla to make sure it does not stick to the pan.
  7. After 8 to 10 minutes, flip the tortilla using a plate over the pan. This may take more or less time depending on the heat, pan size, and pan type.
  8. Slide the uncooked side back into the pan.
  9. Cook for another 5 to 6 minutes, or until the tortilla is cooked through.
  10. Remove from heat and serve.

Coach’s Notes

  • Use a good non-stick pan to make flipping the tortilla much easier.
  • Keep the heat low once the egg mixture goes into the pan so the tortilla cooks through without burning.
  • Let the tortilla set properly before flipping to help it hold together.
  • Serve warm, or enjoy cold as a meal prep option.
  • Add fresh herbs, extra black pepper, or chilli flakes if you want more flavour.
