How to Make Omelet Espanola Squares

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in an oven-safe, nonstick 10-inch skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped; 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped; and 1 ½ pounds potatoes, peeled and diced. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, about 20-25 minutes. Season with ¼ teaspoon salt.
  3. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and ½ cup water.
  5. Stir in ½ cup chopped tomatoes and ¼ cup pitted Kalamata olives.
  6. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the potato mixture. Cook covered for 5 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat and place it in the preheated oven.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the omelet is set and lightly golden brown.
  9. Carefully invert the omelet onto a large, flat plate.
  10. Let cool completely before cutting into 1-inch squares.
  11. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives before serving.
