Cheesy Omelette/Tortilla

I was away at the weekend at the Irish Windsurfing Inter varsities in Achill, unfortunately we(UCD) didn't win anything bar the best fancy dress....Phil in a French Maids outfit, our off the water activities were definitely memorable!! on Sunday, after all the random locals had gobbled all of the food in our house, I rustled up a rather naughty cheesy omelette!!
It was a great cure for my 'last day of the inter varsities blues' :(

I've used mozzarella and cheddar with this before, but really it depends on whatever tickles your fancy!! use just enough to avoid over powering all the flavours with the cheese but yet give it that extra kick!!

All you need (for one person) is:

2 free range/organic eggs
1/2 medium onion, diced
6 baby potatoes, sliced
teaspoon of butter
pepper
garlic salt
parsly flakes
the cheese of your choice

Heat the butter in a frying pan whilst chopping the potatoes in to slices.

Add potatoes to the pan and fry until golden brown

Add the diced onion and all the herbs

Whisk up the two eggs in a small bowl and add a dash of water to thicken it up a bit, chop up pieces of cheddar and add this and some pepper to the egg.

Make sure the potato and onion mixture is spread out evenly through the pan and then add the egg&cheese mixture to the pan. Throw on some more cracked pepper :)

Let this fry for a few minutes and then place under a heated grill,leaving the handle sticking out. The cheese will absorb the pepper and will melt and be DELICIOUS!!!

perfect for a lazy Sunday :)
