REAL SPANISH OMELETTE

Steps:

• Scrape the new potatoes or leave the skins on, if you prefer. Cut them into thick slices. Chop the onion.
• Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a large frying pan, add the potatoes and onion and stew gently, partially covered, for 30 mins, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are softened. Strain the potatoes and onion through a colander into a large bowl (set the strained oil aside).
• Beat the eggs separately, then stir into the potatoes with the parsley and plenty of salt and pepper. Heat a little of the strained oil in a smaller pan.
• Tip everything into the pan and cook on a moderate heat, using a spatula to shape the omelette into a cushion.
• When almost set, invert on a plate and slide back into the pan and cook a few more minutes.
• Invert twice more, cooking the omelette briefly each time and pressing the edges to keep the cushion shape. Slide on to a plate and cool for 10 mins before serving.

SPANISH POTATO OMELET

Steps:

• In a large frying pan or skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle potatoes lightly with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown and crisp.
• Once the potatoes are golden, stir in the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions soften and begin to brown.
• Meanwhile, beat eggs together with salt and pepper. Pour eggs into pan and stir gently to combine. Reduce heat to low and cook until eggs begin to brown on the bottom.
• Loosen bottom of omelet with a spatula, invert a large plate over the pan, and carefully turn the omelet out onto it. Slide the omelet back into the pan with the uncooked side down. Cook until eggs are set. Garnish omelet with tomato and green onion and serve warm.

SPANISH OMELETTE (TORTILLA ESPAñOLA)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Using a knife, peel the onion (discard onion skin in a bowl for easy clean-up), then remove both ends and cut in a medium dice. Heat a non-stick, oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil followed by chopped onions and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir and cook until the onions are soft and lightly caramelized, about 10 minutes. Stir the onions occasionally as they cook.
• Slice the potato (leave peel on), then dice the same size as the onions (cut away and discard any blemishes on the potato). Set aside. Crack eggs into a bowl, whisk and set aside. When onions are lightly caramelized, remove from heat. Place a strainer over a bowl and strain the onions from the oil, reserving oil. Set onions aside. Place oil back into the pan, turn heat to high until oil is slightly smoking, 2-3 minutes (hot oil will keep the potatoes from sticking). Add potatoes and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir and cook until potatoes are soft and golden brown, 7-8 minutes (test for doneness by tasting one!).
• Strain potatoes from the oil, reserving oil. Add potatoes to the onions and keep the skillet warm over low heat (It's important to have no trace of onions or potatoes in the skillet or the omelette will stick). Stir beaten eggs into the potato onion mixture. Turn heat to high, add about 1 tablespoon of the oil back to the pan. When the oil begins to smoke, add egg mixture. Using a rubber spatula gently move the eggs around in the pan to distribute the heat. Turn heat to low and let the omelette set around the edges, 1-2 minutes. Transfer omelette to the oven. It will bake a total of 4-5 minutes. First, to set the eggs, 2- 2 ½ minutes.
• When the omelette is set all over, remove from the oven to flip and cook on the other side. Shake slightly to make sure it isn't sticking to the sides. Using a rubber spatula, gently remove the omelette from the skillet onto a plate. Cover with the other plate and flip over. Using a rubber spatula, gently place back into the pan, bottom-side up and back into the oven, about 2 more minutes.
• Remove omelette from oven. Using a rubber spatula, slide onto a plate. Serve.

MC DONALD'S SPANISH OMELET BREAKFAST BAGEL SANDWICHES

Steps:

• First prepare the sauce by combining the mayonnaise with the dill mustard in a small bowl. Set this aside until you are ready to use it.
• To prepare the eggs it's best to make one at a time in a small 6-inch skillet. If you have more than one of these small pans, you can save a little time.
• First preheat pan over low heat. Add 1/4 teaspoon of butter. Add 1/2 teaspoon of minced green pepper along with 1/2 teaspoon minced white onion to the pan and saute for a couple minutes, or until softened.
• Beat an egg in a small bowl with a whisk until it is smooth, but not foamy. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the egg.
• Add the egg to the pan with the vegetables. Swirl the pan so that the egg spreads out.
• As the egg begins to cook, use a spatula to pull in a couple of the edges so that raw egg flows around from the top onto the hot pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then fold over one of the edges of the egg using a spoon or fork. Fold it down about an inch. Fold the opposite end over as well. Then fold the remaining two edges over, creating a small rectangular or square mini-omelet.
• Repeat with peppers, onions and one egg EACH until you have four square mini omelets.
• Flip the little omelets over and turn off the heat.
• Press the sausage into four 2-ounce patties approximately the size of the bagel. Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until brown. Drain when done.
• Slice a bagel in half and place it with the faces up on a baking sheet. Grill the faces of the bagel halves in your oven set on broil until golden brown. You may also use a toaster oven for this step, but be sure to place the sliced bagel halves onto a small baking sheet or on aluminum foil.
• When the bagels are toasted, spread about 1/2 tablespoon of the sauce onto the face of the top bagel half. Place a slice of American cheese onto the face of the top bagel half. Place a slice of Monterey Jack cheese over the face of the bottom bagel half. Place a sausage patty on the cheese on the bottom bagel half. Place the finished omelet onto the sausage on the bottom half of the sandwich.
• Finish by flipping the top half of the sandwich over onto the bottom. Heat for 15 seconds in microwave if needed to warm.

SPANISH OMELETTE

Steps:

• Finely slice the onions and chop the red pepper, removing the seeds. Cut the potatoes into roughly ½ cm slices.
• Heat a knob of butter in a medium (about 24cm) frying pan over a low heat and cook gently for 10 - 15 until starting to go brown, add the peppers and cook for a further 5 mins.
• Put the potatoes in a steamer over boiling water for 10 - 12 mins to soften. If you don't have a steamer, put in a saucepan, cover with boiling water and simmer gently for around 8 - 10 mins until just cooked through and drain well.
• Break the eggs into a jug and beat with a fork, season with a generous grind of pepper and a pinch of salt. Use scissors to snip the chives into small pieces and stir in.
• Heat the grill. Add a little more butter to the frying pan and add the potatoes. Pour over the egg mixture. Cook for 15 mins until almost set and golden brown underneath - you can use a fish slice to lift the omelette up and check. Put the frying pan under the grill. Make sure the handle is outside the oven as it will become very hot and can burn. Cook for a further minute or two and serve.
