Author Notes
Breakfast, lunch or dinner, I love anything with a Spanish twist. I’ve used sweet potato for my tortilla—it's nutritious and sweet, and goes beautifully with the sharp contrast of manchego cheese. To top it off, coriander mojo (oh yeah!), a really tasty little green sauce. —Cle-ann
Test Kitchen Notes
WHO: Cle-ann is a Melbourne, Australia-based recipe developer and food stylist.
WHAT: A one-pan, Spanish tortilla-inspired egg dish for any meal of the day.
HOW: Soften sweet potato, onions, garlic, and asparagus in a pan, then add eggs and bake until sliceable. Serve with a zippy cilantro sauce.
WHY WE LOVE IT: A classic tortilla meets a more-loaded-up frittata, and gets a good teaspoon of smokey paprika swirled in. We will be borrowing this addition for many egg dishes in the future—as well as the spunky green sauce that's dolloped over the top. —The Editors
