Spanish Zucchini Tortilla

Rosanas Ideas @RosanasIdeas

The spanish tortilla, unlike the omelette or quiche, is cooked completely on the stove, has soft, juicy, spongy and tasty consistency. A spanish tortilla can have vegetables, herbs/spices added to achieve different flavor profiles, in regular omelettes or quiches they are added in lesser quantities.
I hope you like the recipe and try it at home 🙂
