When it comes to breakfast recipes my daughters and husband are spoiled!

Oh, who am I kidding, they are spoiled no matter what!

This mama cooks pretty much every meal almost 7 days a week, but this Spanish omelet recipe is one that I love to make every weekend.

It was a recipe my mom used to make when I was a little girl that her father taught her to cook.

What Is A Spanish Omelet

A Spanish omelet is know as a Spanish tortilla dish made of eggs.

The most traditional way of making this recipe is with potatoes and onions.

It’s also cooked in a round dish or pan, giving it a round shape just like a tortilla.

It’s then cut up like a pie or cake.

The best thing about this recipe is that you can add any of your favorite breakfast ingredients.

Here are a few suggestions:

• Bacon
• Spinach
• Mushrooms
• Cheese
• Vegetables

Ingredients For Spanish Omelet Recipe

You could also add any of your favorite ingredients to create this breakfast omelet.

• 8 eggs
• 2 potatoes diced
• 1/2 lb of bacon diced
• 1/4 diced onions
• Ketchup (optional for dipping)

Tip: Normally I would use 1/2 cup of diced onions, but my daughters don’t like onions so I use less.

How Do You Make A Spanish Omelet

Making these delicious Spanish Omelet is easy and you only need one-pan to cook everything in.

• Cook the diced bacon pieces either on the stovetop or baked in the oven.
• Once cooked set your bacon aside on a dish on a paper towel to drain.
• Save a tablespoon of your bacon grease for your pan.
• Add your potatoes to the pan.
• Cook the potatoes until softened. About 10 minutes on medium heat.
• Add the diced onions to the potatoes and cook for about 2-3 minutes or until onions are translucent.
• Set aside your potatoes and onions.
• In a large bowl, crack your eggs and whisk together.
• Add your bacon, potatoes, and onions to your whisked eggs.
• Stir all ingredients together quickly. Don’t allow your ingredients to sit in the egg too long because they will start to cook the eggs with the heat.
• With your pan on medium heat, dump all of your ingredients to the pan spreading around the potatoes and bacon as evenly as possible.
• Cook one side of your omelet for about 5 minutes.
• Flip your egg over to cook the other side. (Read below on how to do this)

Tip: I like to bake my bacon to keep the grease from splattering on my stove, but if you do cook your bacon on the stove, make sure to get a grease splatter screen.

Flipping Your Omelet Over

The easiest way to cook a Spanish omelet is with this amazing Cuisinart frittata pan!

If you don’t have an omelet or frittata pan the easiest way to flip your Spanish omelet is using a large plate.

Slide your omelet out of your pan into the plate.

Cover the omelet over the plate with the pan greased side down.

Now flip everything so that the egg omelet is now on the pan, ready to cook the other side.

How To Store Egg Omelet

The best way to store your omelet would be in an air tight container in the refrigerator for a day or two.

I don’t like leaving eggs in the refrigerator for too long, so a few days is what I suggest.

Although, I don’t think there will be any leftover for later!
