Cook until both sides of the tortilla turn golden brown.

Make another mixture with two eggs and repeat until all three omelettes are ready.

The omelettes are ready, now it’s time to make the cake. It is recommended to let the tortillas cool down before starting the final preparation of the dish.

On a baking tray, place the three tortillas, adding a little béchamel sauce between each layer. Leave plenty of sauce to add at the end

Learn about some of the variations of tortillas with which you can prepare surprisingly delicious tortilla cakes.

Zucchini Tortillas

In the case of zucchini omelettes, they have a very different procedure than the potato omelettes we mentioned at the beginning.

Cut the zucchini into thin slices. Pour them into a pan with olive oil.

When you finish poaching the zucchini, put it in the frying pan where you will prepare the omelette and pour in the beaten eggs.

After a while, turn the omelette over. It will be ready when it has an appetizing golden color.

Omelettes with mushrooms

For the mushroom omelettes, cut the mushrooms into small slices and cook them in a pan with a little oil.

This process is necessary so that the mushrooms lose their excess water.

Once cooked, they can be added to the beaten egg mixture for the omelette or they can be fried with some spices such as parsley or crushed garlic.

Cook the tortilla as usual.

Cheese and sausage omelettes

To make delicious cheese and sausage tortillas, use the ingredients you want or like the most.

These tortillas can combine different sausages, such as ham and sausage, mixed with sautéed vegetables.

Pouring the cheese into the tortilla gives the recipe extra points for its taste and texture.

Seafood omelette

Seafood tortillas are a rare alternative, but one that guarantees incredible flavors.

In these tortillas, the potatoes are replaced by sweet potatoes and pre-cooked cod with salt, caramelized onions, green peppers and some chopped leeks are also added.

Place the ingredients together with the beaten eggs in the satin to start cooking the omelette and make sure this omelette has a slightly juicy texture.
