Ah pure nostalgia. You see folks, in Spain you learn a lot of things. Including, how to pour Cider from above your head into a small cup, how to properly take a midday siesta, and how to make tortilla. Tortilla is eaten anytime of day. Peckish? Eat some tortilla. Sleepy? Tortilla. Crying in front of your house mother? She will start the oven. I am a spoiled human who loves the traditional Jamon, potato, egg, and onion. This my dear readers is a step above that. With some very American Trader Joe’s Hashbrowns that is. Feel free to go buck wild and add in your own ingredients you little chefs. However, don’t forget your potatoes they make everything that much more magical.


Preheat oven to 350°.

In a cast iron skillet saute your sausage for about ten minutes, they should be partly cooked through, but not completely. Remove sausages from heat and add your olive oil, peppers, onions, and hash brown pieces. Sauce until onions are translucent. Cut sausage into half slices and add back into the pan. Add your paprika, salt, and pepper. After a few minutes turn heat off.

In a separate bowl whisk your eggs.

Pour into the cast iron and bake for 15 minutes.

Serve with bread, some hot sauce, some love. Serve to the dog, your boyfriend, your best friends mom. Or eat it all alone. No one is watching.
