Inspired by the traditional 'tortilla de patatas', this omelette combines the juiciness of zucchini, the sweetness of onion, and the tenderness of the egg mixture.

The omelette pairs well with fresh vegetables and crispy bread, while added herbs and spices give it a distinctive aroma. Cooked slowly under a lid, it becomes especially soft and airy.
