Low Calorie Spanish Omelet
This Low Calorie Spanish Omelet is just 78 calories and so impressive to make!This healthy Spanish omelet does take a bit of skill, and by skill I mean patience. Don't flip it until the bottom is very gold brown (see photo) otherwise it could stick. Special Tip: If when flipping, it falls apart, don't worry! Just add back to the pan and mold into the correct shape.
Equipment
- Non Stick Skillet
Ingredients
- 6 medium gold potatoes peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 yellow onion sliced thin
- Olive oil spray
- 6 eggs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat, and spray with olive oil.
- Add the potatoes and onions, reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 30 minutes, mixing 3-4 times to avoid sticking/burning. Then remove to a large bowl.
- In a large bowl or large glass measuring cup whisk the eggs, salt and pepper.
- Spray the pan again with olive oil and raise the heat to medium heat.
- Add the eggs to the bowl of potatoes and onions, mix and then pour the contents of the bowl into the hot pan.
- Cook for 3-5minutes, or until the bottom of the omelette is golden brown, set in the center, and pulling away from the sides.
- Place a large plate over the pan (ensure it fully covered the pan) then flip the pan and the plate together so that the omelet comes out onto the plate in one piece. (note: the omelet will still be runny, we are not done cooking it.
- Spray the pan once more with olive oil, and slide the Spanish omelet (uncooked side down) back into the pan.
- Cook for 2-3 mins until the bottom is golden.
- Slice into 8 slices and serve hot.
