This recipe, inspired by culinary traditions, offers you a hearty breakfast or a light meal, perfect for any time of the day. A brief story about the tortilla Over time, the tortilla has evolved into various forms and has been reinterpreted in numerous ways, becoming a symbol of gastronomic diversity. Although recipes vary, the essence remains the same: a delicious combination of fresh ingredients that blend perfectly in every bite. This Arabic tortilla is an original variant that I created with love and passion, considering the preferences and needs of my family. Ingredients - 450-500 g potatoes - 1 large onion (or 2 medium onions) - 5 large eggs - Olive oil for frying the potatoes and onion - 2-3 green onions - 150 g cheese (ideally a less salty cheese) - Salt and pepper (to taste) Step-by-step preparation 1. Preparing the ingredients Start by peeling the potatoes. Make sure to wash them well to remove any impurities. Cut the potatoes into small cubes, about 1-2 cm, to cook evenly. Peel and finely chop the onion, and slice the green onions into thin rounds. Cut the cheese into larger cubes to add a pleasant texture to the tortilla. 2. Frying the potatoes Heat a deep pan with a little olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the potato cubes. Fry them over medium heat until they are golden and crispy, stirring occasionally to brown evenly. Once they are ready, remove them onto paper towels to absorb the excess oil. 3. Sautéing the onion In the same pan, add a little olive oil and sauté the finely chopped onion over low heat. The goal is for it to become soft and translucent, not browned. This step will add a sweet and savory flavor to the tortilla. 4. Preparing the baking dish Choose a baking dish (preferably ceramic or glass) and line it with parchment paper. Grease the paper with a little olive oil to prevent the tortilla from sticking to the dish. 5. Mixing the ingredients In a large bowl, add the fried potatoes, sautéed onion, cheese cubes, and green onions. Mix well with a fork. In another bowl, beat the 5 eggs, then add them to the vegetable mixture. Season with salt and pepper, being mindful of the salt quantity since the cheese may already be salty. 6. Baking the tortilla Pour the mixture into the prepared dish. Preheat the oven to 180-200 degrees Celsius and place the dish inside. Bake the tortilla for 15-20 minutes or until it is nicely browned on top. If you want the tortilla to be taller, you can use a smaller and deeper dish. 7. Serving Once the tortilla is ready, let it cool for a few minutes before cutting it. You can serve it warm, alongside a fresh salad, pickles, or even with a yogurt and dill sauce. It is perfect for a hearty breakfast or as a satisfying snack. Useful tips - You can experiment with different types of cheese, such as feta or goat cheese, to add a unique flavor. - If you like spices, you can add a little cumin or paprika to the egg mixture to enhance the flavors. - This tortilla can also be made with added vegetables, such as peppers or zucchini, to give it a fresh touch. Nutritional information and calories A serving of oven-baked Arabic tortilla has approximately 350-400 calories, depending on the type of cheese used and the amount of oil. It is a good source of carbohydrates from potatoes, protein from eggs, and calcium from cheese, making it a nutritious choice for the whole family. Frequently asked questions 1. Can I use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes? Yes, sweet potatoes add a natural sweetness and vibrant color to the tortilla. 2. How can I make this recipe vegan? You can replace the eggs with a mixture of chickpea flour and water, which will bind the ingredients. 3. Can the tortilla be frozen? Yes, you can freeze the tortilla after it has completely cooled. Make sure to wrap it well in plastic wrap or in an airtight container. A personal note The Arabic tortilla has become part of our weekend routine, when the whole family gathers for a hearty breakfast. I remember the first day I made it; I was surprised at how quickly it disappeared from the table! I hope you have the same pleasant experience and that this recipe will become a favorite in your home. Enjoy your meal!
