We've been making a serious effort at meatless Monday's. We aren't always able to make it on the right day - but I figure as long as we have a meatless dinner once a week we're doing A-OK! I'm finding it's just a little too easy to rely on pizza or pasta on our meatless days, and I've been making an effort to shake things up.
A few of my post-it recipes from Around My French Table
fit the 'meatless' bill, and after having Meghan's Spanish Tortilla at our potluck, I thought I'd try my hand at Dorie's recipe. I started by sauteing the chopped potatoes and onions.

I mixed up nine eggs with a little salt and cayenne
And then Rafe remembered the leftover gruyere in the fridge and suggested we add it to the tortilla - right on!!
After the potatoes browned, I added the eggs and allowed them to cook in the pan a bit, then finished the tortilla in the oven.
Since this was a pretty simple dish, I decided to spice it up a bit. Meghan served her tortilla with a sriracha mayo, and I decided to do the same.
Rafe put together one of his delicious salads
And we feasted on this meatless meal. The eggs and potatoes make this hearty enough for a dinner when accompanied by salad. Of course this would also be delicious as a brunch item...The tortilla was also satisfying as my lunch the following day at work.
Oh, and if you like spice, sriracha mayo is the way to go - the kick cuts the richness of the dish perfectly, and adds a bit of tang.

ReplyDeleteThis looks AMAZING! I need to keep this in mind. I've been making a serious effort to try to minimize the amount of meat in my life, mostly because I feel like I end up wasting quite a bit of expensive meat! I'm going to have to make this soon for Foxy :) I hope all is well!! Let me know the next time you are back up in Boston!
ReplyDeleteTortilla is one of my favorite egg dinners - this looks fantastic..and so easy!
ReplyDeleteThat tortilla looks awesome! I love potatoes and eggs... and that hint of gruyere -- just perfect. Can you believe I was at Burger Battle on meatless Monday?! I think it's good to try to fit in one meatless meal a week too... I don't usually do it with dinner, but most times my lunches lack meat.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a very hearty and delicious meatless meal!
ReplyDeleteHow divine! Horray for you that you got to eat that!
ReplyDeleteWe were into quiches with spinach and smoked cheddar cheese last winter. But I haven't made it at all this year.
