A very quick and healthy Spanish Tortilla. Do not mistake healthy as a bad word in describing this dish. It is very tasty and will disappear quickly!
Ingredients:
3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup mushroom, sliced
1 cup precooked diced red potatoes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
6 large eggs
4 large egg whites
1/2 cup shredded manchego cheese or 1/2 cup monterey jack cheese
3 cups baby spinach, roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
Directions:
1. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until onions are translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and mushrooms to the onions after 2 minutes into this process.
2. Add potatoes, thyme and paprika and cook for 2 minutes more.
3. Lightly whisk eggs and egg whites in a large bowl. Gently stir the potato mixture into the eggs along with cheese, spinach, salt and pepper until combined. Wipe the pan clean; add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and heat over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture, cover and cook until the edges are set and the bottom is browned, 4 to 5 minutes (it will still be moist in the center).
4. To flip the tortilla, run a spatula gently around the edges to loosen them. Invert a large plate over the pan and turn out the tortilla onto it. Slide the tortilla back into the pan and continue cooking until completely set in the middle, 3 to 6 minutes. Serve warm or cold.
