Ingredients:

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 small potato, sliced (optional)
  • salt and pepper

Directions:

  1. Whisk together eggs and milk very VERY well. These amounts can be easily increased- if you're hungry enough, add an extra egg and an extra splash of milk.
  2. Heat olive oil in an omelet or small frying pan over medium heat.
  3. Optional: add potato slices to bottom of the skillet and let fry for 5 minutes, turning when bottom starts to brown.
  4. Add the onion and let brown for about 1 minute. Add more olive oil if needed.
  5. Add spinach to pan: if frozen, break up and let warm. If fresh, let wilt for a minute or so.
  6. Whisk the eggs and milk a little more. This is key to having a fluffy tortilla! When your arm is getting sore, slowly pour the mixture into the pan. Tilt pan to coat sides well. KEEP THE HEAT AT MEDIUM for 5 minutes.
  7. After 5 minutes, if your tortilla is still jiggly (liquidy) in the middle, reduce the heat and be sure to unstick the sides from the pan with a spatula. Once you're satisfied with the doneness of the eggs, remove from pan and devour with a small loaf of very crusty bread. Pretend you are in Spain. Mmmmm.
