A take on a classic Spanish tortilla, this baked omelette looks wonderfully dramatic straight from the oven when it's all puffed up and golden. It's great eaten hot, but you can enjoy it at room temperature too which makes it perfect for picnics.

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F), Gas mark 8.

Step 2

Pour the olive oil into the frying pan on a medium-high heat and, when hot, add the onions and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes or until the onions are soft and lightly browned.

Step 3

Throw the sweet potatoes into the pan with the onions and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and golden.

Step 4

Crack the eggs into a large bowl, then beat them together thoroughly and season with salt and pepper. Pour the eggs over the cooked sweet potatoes and onions and top with the cheese. Place back in the oven and cook for a further 20 minutes or until the eggs are slightly puffed up and the top is golden and slightly springy to the touch.

Step 5

Put the pan on a board and serve the tortilla straight from the pan or carefully slide it onto a serving plate. Cut into wedges and serve with a green salad.
