Oven Baked Spanish Tortilla…

These are so easy to make, great for breakfast and also a great tapas dish for entertaining. 

This recipe serves 16 tapas size!
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees
Spray a skillet with oil and add 1 diced red bell pepper, 1 diced yellow bell pepper, and 1 large clove of garlic and some scallions, onions or leaks.
Beat 5 large eggs together with 1/2-cup fat free yogurt, 4 ounces of manchego cheese, chives if you have them, and 1 large potato, boiled, peeled and diced. Stir in the sautéed veggies and season with salt and pepper to taste.  We also add the smoked Spanish paprika for additional flavor.  Prepare your baking pan with foil, spray with oil and pour the mixture onto the baking pan.  Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown, puffed, and set in the center.  Remove from the oven and let cool and set.  Run a spatula around the edges, then invert onto a cutting board, browned side up and peel off the foil.  If you want to add some heat, just dice up a jalapeno or cayenne pepper to the mix!  Keep in mind there is cheese involved and not to over indulge.
