Can I reheat some Spanish omelette for lunch tomorrow?

[LifeInAHamsterWheel]

I made a really yummy Spanish omelette for dinner. But it was huge and I only ate half. If I let it cool could I bring it to work tomorrow and heat it for lunch? (I don't want to eat it cold)

It contains eggs, onion, red pepper, sliced chorizo, sliced baby potatoes, baby spinach and cheese (no wonder I could only eat half )

Sounds delicious, and yes I would!

It doesn’t need to be reheated. Just have it cold

Might go a bit rubbery on re-heating, mind you?

Of course you can and as an aside you don't need to justify how much you did or didnt eat of it

Thank you 😊 no I'll definitely heat it as I don't like the idea of it being cold! But I'll reheat it gently so it hopefully won't dry out. That's lunch sorted for tomorrow so!

Yes, it will be nice cold though, try it!

It's delicious cold in a sandwich btw!

I'll just take your word for it

In Spain cafes make huge tortillas then leave them on the counter, cold, until someone asks for a slice.

Room temp it'll be delicious!

hmm well maybe room temp would be bearable, but I like the melty cheese in it!!

When I used to reheat omelettes at work I used to lay a damp piece of kitchen roll over it so it didn't go rubbery

Yes fine. Make sure it's piping hot. Or eat cold.

Yes you can, but that's not a Spanish tortilla (signed, a Spaniard)

Yes, the supermarkets sells spanish omelettes to heat in the microwave.

Yes. It'll be nicer heated in a pan gently than in a microwave if that's an option.

In some Spanish bars and motorway service station cafés where they have large tortillas on the bar under glass covers they often heat your slice of tortilla in the microwave for a short time, just to warm it slightly.

We spent around six weeks in Spain this winter, the local specialty tortilla takeaway place did a whole one one that was was stuffed with peppers, chorizo, potatoes and cheese, it easily served four or five and we reheated the leftovers very successfully. Cost about 5 euros.

Yes, but also nice cold

That looks yum @Tartyflette! yes, it's such a cheap dinner and so quick to make too.

Ok so I'll re-heat on low with a piece of damp kitchen roll on top.

Also I know it's not a legit spanish omelette but that's what we call it and you all knew what I meant

I wonder how people get by on a day to day basis when they need advice on stuff like this

I wonder how people get by when they're so fucking grumpy they feel the need to make snide remarks on a harmless thread like this.

I've enjoyed this Spanish omelette thread. A refreshing change from the dominant topic!

A vote for having it cold in a crusty bread roll - tortilla bocadillo.
Delicious!

Woah @vikkimoog - what a misery you are.

Ignore the misery guts op and enjoy your omelette.

It’s absolutely fine to cook and later reheat anything, I think a lot of people get confused about this. What you shouldn’t do is reheat things and allow them to cool and then reheat them over and over, because the cycle of warming and cooling allows bacteria to grow (though I’ve been doing it for years and am still alive.) Think logically - any bacteria currently in your omelette would be there if you ate it cold, why would heating it up (and killing it) be bad?

I don't usually worry about reheating things, I just wasn't quite sure with eggs.

Still not had my lunch and now fit to drop with the hunger and all this talk of omelettes

I shall enjoy, for sure...
