Cheesy Vegetable Tortilla


So simple and good it's untrue!
I was travelling back home today and needed something quick and simple to eat as soon as I got to the flat.  I went for a courgette, squash and sweet potato tortilla with a bit of cheese on top.  It’s one of the easiest things to make and is beautifully fresh.  Just use whatever vegetables you have kicking about, beetroot also works well!

Cheesy Vegetable Tortilla

Serves 3


2 tbsp olive oil
2-3 tsp onion powder
200g squash and sweet potato, peeled and diced (I buy a bag ready done!)
100g courgette, peeled and sliced
6 eggs
2 tbsp lactose free milk
50g (ish) grated hard cheese
Parsley to garnish (don’t laugh, it tastes amazing!)

  1. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and fry the squash for 5 minutes.  Throw in the courgettes and the onion powder and cook for a further 10 minutes until everything is brown and gorgeous.
  2. Beat the eggs and the milk together, making sure to season well with salt and pepper.
  3. Chuck the eggs over the vegetables and then sprinkle the cheese on top.
  4. Allow the tortilla to cook for a few minutes in the frying pan and then move under a pre-heated grill until the top has set and the cheese has melted.
  5. All done!  Sprinkle with parsley and then cut into wedges to serve.
