How to Make Spanish Mushroom Omelet

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms, 1/2 medium onion (chopped), 1/2 green bell pepper (chopped), and 2 cloves of minced garlic to the saucepan.
  3. Sauté until vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained), 1/2 cup of water, 1 bay leaf, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (or more, to taste).
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Remove the bay leaf before proceeding.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup of milk, salt, and pepper to taste until light and frothy (about 1 minute).
  8. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
  9. Pour half of the egg mixture into the skillet and cook until the bottom is set but the top is still slightly wet, about 3-4 minutes.
  10. Gently lift the edges of the cooked egg with a spatula, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  11. Once the bottom is set, carefully flip the omelet (using a plate to assist, if needed).
  12. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the other side is lightly browned.
  13. Repeat steps 8-12 with the remaining egg mixture.
  14. Serve the Spanish tortilla immediately, topped with the prepared mushroom sauce.
