Different and very good! I roasted potatoes especially for this, earlier in the day, and then cooked it in the evening, using the suggested ingredients, for a simple but delicious meal. Simple to prepare, I put it together whilst doing the ironing at the same time, a good dish for multi-taskers! It was lovely hot, and I saved a piece for my office lunch, so I can tell you it is just as good cold! Thank you for a good recipe, Bluemoon!

Excellent Spanish tortilla!!! I used left-over baked potatoes, along with the onion and garlic. I didn't have any red bellpepper on hand, but this is the type of recipe you can add vegetables or meats of choice. I made it for a serving for one for a hearty lunch today. I used a small skillet and added 1/2 of the olive oil and 1/2 butter to add more flavor. I then added the onion and potatoes along with some seasoned salt and pepper. I then added the garlic for a minute or so and then the eggs/cheese mixture. (I scrambled them and added the cheese in with them). I then put this pan in the oven for 15-20 minutes and it was very flavorful but simple tortilla!! Thanks for sharing bluemoon. Made for PRMR.

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
