Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (500g), peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 courgette, thinly sliced
Other Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 6 eggs
- 50g crème fraîche
- 30g Manchego or vegetarian alternative, grated
- 1 tbsp chopped chives
- green salad, to serve
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Vegetables: Heat the oven to 190°C (170°C fan) or gas mark 5. Place the sweet potato slices, onion, and courgette in a medium non-stick baking dish (approximately 18cm x 30cm x 4cm). Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
- Roast Vegetables: Bake the vegetables for 30 minutes, tossing halfway through cooking. The sweet potatoes should become tender, courgettes slightly charred, and onions softened.
- Mix Egg Mixture: Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs and crème fraîche with a pinch of seasoning until smooth and combined.
- Combine and Spread Egg Mixture: Pour the beaten egg and crème fraîche mixture evenly over the roasted vegetables in the baking dish. Sprinkle grated Manchego cheese over the top.
- Bake Tortilla: Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes until the tortilla is just set and lightly golden.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle chopped chives over the tortilla, and serve hot or cold with a fresh green salad.
Notes
- You can use a vegetarian alternative to Manchego cheese if preferred.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or dried herbs when seasoning the vegetables.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and enjoyed cold or gently reheated.
- Ensure to toss vegetables halfway during the initial roasting to promote even cooking and charring.
- If you prefer a fuller set tortilla, bake for the longer time recommended in the final step.
