Tortilla with cheese and pine nuts
4 servings
30 minutes
Tortilla with cheese and pine nuts is a refined dish that combines the simplicity of traditional Spanish tortilla with the elegance of Italian cuisine. Potatoes, soft and tender after boiling, form the base of this appetizing casserole. Eggs provide structure and lightness, while 'Manchego' cheese adds a rich, tangy flavor. A hint of garlic makes the dish expressive, and the baked golden crust adds a pleasant crunch. Pine nuts are a true touch of sophistication, highlighting the nutty depth of flavor while adding tenderness and a slight creaminess. This is an ideal appetizer or light dinner that can be served hot or chilled.
