Spanish Tortilla with Zucchini & Onions
If you love eggs, you will love this Spanish Tortilla with Zucchini & Onions. It has an amazing flavor, it´s easy to make, uses simple ingredients and it´s done in about 30 minutes. I love to serve this Spanish tortilla for either breakfast or dinner, and always next to a crusty baguette.
Since this tortilla is made with simple and minimal ingredients, it´s important to use the highest-quality ingredients you can find. Like fresh vegetables, a good extra virgin olive oil and organic cage-free eggs. Guys, it does make a difference in the flavor and texture of the eggs.
The most important element to making this Spanish tortilla is to use a good nonstick fry pan. This is the key to making a Spanish tortilla. You gotta make sure it does not stick to the pan, otherwise it will create a huge mess and you won´t end up with a beautiful looking tortilla.
On a last note, this Spanish tortilla is low carb and gluten free, making it the ideal dish for just about everyone. It´s light on its feet yet packed with an amazing flavor. If you love Spanish tortillas as much as I do, here is a couple other recipes for you 🙂 .

Spanish Tortilla with Zucchini & Onions
Ingredients
- 1 large zucchini
- 2 large brown onions
- 3 cloves garlic
- 6 large organic eggs
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- sea salt
- black pepper
Instructions
-
Cut 1 large zucchini into thin slices that are about 1/8 of an inch thick (1/4 cm), stack up the slices and cut them into 4 evenly sized quarters, finely dice 2 large brown onions, cut 3 cloves of garlic into evenly sized chunks (about 4 from each clove) and crack 6 organic eggs into a large bowl, season them with sea salt & freshly cracked black pepper, whisk together until well combined
-
Heat a nonstick fry pan with a medium-high heat and add a 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil, after 2 minutes add the diced onions and the chunks of garlic, mix occasionally to make sure everything cooks evenly, 4 minutes later add the cut zucchini and again mix it all together, cook for about 8 minutes, then season everything with sea salt & freshly cracked black pepper, mix together and remove the pan from the heat
-
Add the onion and zucchini mixture into the bowl with the eggs and mix together until well combined
-
Using the same pan, heat it with a LOW heat and add the egg mixture into the pan, make sure everything is evenly distributed, after about 3 minutes run a spatula through the outer edges of the tortilla to make sure it does not stick to the pan, after 5 to 6 minutes it´s time to flip the tortilla (might take less or more, depending on your heat size and pan), place a plate over the pan and flip the tortilla, slide the uncooked part back into the pan, using a spatula compact the tortilla through the outer edges to ensure that classic rounded edge, after 5 to 6 minutes the tortilla should be perfectly cooked, remove from the heat and serve, enjoy!
