Treat your ingredients with care...
- Chorizo — Choose a high-quality chorizo for the best flavor. If you prefer a spicier omelette, opt for a hot or spicy chorizo variety.
- Potatoes — To save time, you can parboil the potato slices for a few minutes before adding them to the skillet. This will help them cook faster and evenly.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra burst of flavor, add some chopped fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro to the beaten eggs before cooking.
- If you prefer a softer omelette, cook it on low heat and cover the skillet with a lid while it cooks.
- Customize your sandwich by adding toppings such as sliced tomatoes, lettuce, or a drizzle of mayonnaise.
Serving advice
Serve the Spanish Chorizo Omelette Sandwich warm, either as a standalone meal or accompanied by a side salad or some crispy potato wedges.
Presentation advice
To enhance the presentation, cut the sandwich diagonally and secure each half with a toothpick. Serve it on a wooden cutting board or a rustic plate for a touch of authenticity.
