Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 ounces Spanish chorizo (cured sausage), sliced into thin half-moons
  • 3/4 pound red potatoes, diced
  • Kosher salt and pepper
  • 3/4 cup flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
  • 10 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Manchego or sharp Cheddar
  • 1 small head green leaf lettuce
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced

Method

  • Heat oven to 400° F.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the yellow onion and cook for 5 minutes. Add the chorizo, potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender, 10 minutes. Stir in the parsley.
  • Pour the eggs into the skillet and stir to distribute the ingredients. Sprinkle with the Manchego and transfer to oven.
  • Bake the omelet until puffed and brown around the edges and a knife comes out clean, about 15 minutes.
  • Divide the lettuce and red onion among individual plates and drizzle with the remaining oil. Cut the omelet into wedges and serve with the salad.
  • This Spanish omelet is delicious served cold as an hors d'oeuvre. Use a cookie cutter or a shot glass to cut one into bite-size pieces.
