Tortilla in a frying pan with egg and cheese

Step-by-step recipe

Step 1:

Heat a frying pan. Place the heated pan over medium heat. Grease the bottom with vegetable oil.

Step 2:

Prepare the egg mixture. Beat the eggs in a bowl, season with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into the pan very quickly, ensuring the eggs are evenly distributed.

Step 3:

Place the tortilla. Carefully place the tortilla on top of the egg base. This will be the base for your breakfast.

Step 4:

Add the filling. Spread the sausage and half the cheese over the surface. Top with tomatoes and cheese—this combination will add freshness and rich flavor. Finish with a layer of the remaining cheese.

Step 5:

Cook covered. Cover the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes, until the cheese and fragrant tomatoes have coated the pan and the cheese is completely melted.

Step 6:

Fold and serve. Using a spatula, carefully fold the filled tortilla in half in the pan. Transfer to a plate. Garnish with additional tomatoes and serve hot.

Cooking tips:

Use a preheated frying pan to prevent the eggs from sticking and to make the tortillas softer.

Don't oversalt: the sausage already contains salt.

For a crispy crust, lightly fry the outside of the finished tortilla for another 30 seconds.

If you don't have a lid, cover the pan with a plate - this will speed up the cooking time.
