I tasted my first Spanish omelete made by a Spanish friend more than five years ago and I like it very much.
After learning a few tricks from him, I tried making my own version of Spanish omelete at home using my round cooking pan. After cooking the omelete on one side, I need to flip it over to the other side with the help of a big plate. It requires some strength to handle the pan and the plate when flipping the omelete.
I made another version of omelete with green vegetables for our last year Christmas party. As I was afraid that the omelete would crumble when I flipped it, so to play safe, I baked the omelete instead.
I made a similar dish thereafter, except that the I swapped the spinach for broccoli in this recipe.
