These mini Spanish omelettes made in a pie maker are a clever, flavourful twist on the classic Spanish tortilla. Crisp potato “shells” cradle a soft, eggy centre bursting with onion, capsicum and smoky paprika. They’re perfect as brunch bites, party snacks or a fun lunch. Easy to customise, portable and satisfying.

Ingredients

  • 550g frozen potato gems
  • ½ cup marinated chargrilled capsicum, cut into 2cm pieces
  • 1 large onion, halved, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 5 eggs
  • ⅓ cup grated Parmesan, extra to serve
  • Chopped parsley, to serve (optional)

  1. Cook gems according to the packet directions. (20 minutes in oven or air fryer directions) Cool slightly. Season.
  2. Meanwhile, drain capsicum, reserving oil from the jar. Heat 2 tablespoons of reserved oil in a frying pan over a medium-low heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring for 10 minutes until lightly golden and soft.
  3. Add paprika and capsicum pieces to the pan and cook, stirring for 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Cool slightly.
  4. Grease a 6-hole (⅓ cup) pie maker with spray oil. Place 4 potato gems in each hole and press into holes using a drinking glass that is the same size as the base of the pie maker holes, until 1cm thick over the base and ¾ of the way up the sides of each hole.
  5. Place a small portion of the mix into the center of each base. Whisk eggs and Parmesan. Season. Pour half of the egg mixture slowly over the onion and capsicum mixture, use a fork to move onion and capsicum to the side to slowly fill with egg mixture. It is ok if a small amount goes over the sides of the potato gems, but be careful not to overflow.

  6. Close lid and cook for 10-12 minutes until puffed and golden. Turn pie maker off, remove with a palette knife and repeat to make a second batch.

  7. Serve with an extra grating of Parmesan and a sprinkle of parsley.
