Fact 1: I miss the sun! Fact 2: I missed eggs! Fact 3: winter blues have arrived…
Off I went to the kitchen with an idea on my mind: Tortilla de Patatas (Spanish Omelette) that I could easily cook and pack.
Felt much better after creating and tasting these savory muffins!
I first learned how to make tortilla with a Spanish friend. I remember to have tried several times before with little success… I learned with my friend that there are two small tricks that make all the difference: the way you cut the potatoes and the way you flip the spanish omelette. The first one is easy (you just need to shave the potatoes) but the second took me a while to master… the dramatic climax of tortilla flipping that can ruin your creation in just seconds. And it did! So this time, to avoid any unpleasant surprises I’ve used the fritatta trick: oven with it and problem solved. With the plus that it’s the perfect packed lunch.
Lunch or brunch or breakfast, any excuse is good to eat these savory sunny muffins.
