Spanish Omelette (Tortilla Espanola)
A classic, cost effective tapas dish the whole family can enjoy. This is also perfect for picnics and packed lunches. If you are serving for baby-led weaning ensure to slice into thin strips or small chunks (as age appropriate). This is a slightly less traditional take on a Spanish Omelette but hopefully a crowd-pleaser nonetheless!

Chives are not a traditional ingredient and completely optional of you don't want to add them- you could also use parsley too if you prefer. You could add some lightly fried onion to this when you tip in the eggs.
