Easy Spanish Tortilla
The whole family loves this delicious and easy Spanish tortilla recipe!
It’s so great for a quick meal, particularly when you have an abundance of eggs or are looking for a budget-friendly, vegetarian idea. Real food is so easy once you have a few basic recipes like this!
If you don’t feel confident flipping the tortilla, you can always finish it off under your oven’s grill – only if you have an entirely heat-proof frypan though!!
It’s delicious served hot for an easy dinner or Sunday lunch with some salad. The leftovers are also really good cold for a substantial and healthy protein-filled lunch. Try it in the kids’ lunch boxes!

The Vegetable Broth Powder and Vegetable Broth Salt adds extra nutrients and gives it a lovely depth of flavour.
Feel free to experiment and add in any fridge scraps that might need using up! Capsicum and chorizo are traditional Spanish-style ingredients and work really well.
