To think that omlette/ tortilla/ frittata......

Is better with cheese?

DH disagrees and insists in making tortilla with only egg, onion, potato and black pepper.
I feel quite strongly that cheese improves the whole dish.
Aibu?

Yanbu. Lots of gooey cheese is needed.

Everything is better with cheese

That's a teeny tortilla!
Much cheese needed.

damn you FlyingGoose you beat me to it.
He is being very unreasonable.

he IBU - leave the bastard

NO CHEESE

Omelette cooked with cheese - yes.
Frittata cooked with cheese - yes.
Tortilla cooked with cheese - no.

In sorry but Yabu. Tortillas should not have cheese.

No, definitely no cheese in a tortilla. Eggs, onions, potatoes, olive oil, salt. Cheese is overkill.

However, a French style omelette should be oozing with cheese and mushrooms and accompanied by a big pile of golden chips.

As for frittata, the jury's out.

Cheese noooo!

Omelettes yes. Totrilla and fritatta no.

When does an omelette become a frittata or a tortilla though?

Good question olio

I put cheese on a tortilla / frittata / Spanish omelette, cheese goes with everything doesn't it ?

An omelette or a frittata can never accidentally become tortilla.

It's one of life's many mysteries Olivio, almighty with what's the difference between a quiche and a flan, and when the fuck is it a tartlet ? [bamboozled]

everything is better with cheese
Amen

Almighty should be along with, damn you iPad.

I'm spanish. I'm a cheese freak. Put cheese near my frittata and I'll kill you!

Cheese improves anything. Although we had tortilla/frittata tonight with no cheese as I am following slimming world. Maybe your dp is worried about his weight.

Is it a tortilla if I chucked a load of roasted veg/sweet potato/peas/sweetcorn in the oven with some whisked eggs?"

When does an omelette become a frittata or a tortilla though?

An omelette would never become a frittata or a tortilla. Frittata is like a quiche with no crust, and a tortilla is flat bread made from corn or flour.

what's the difference between a quiche and a flan

Quiche is a savory pie, a flan is a custard topped with caramel.

I'm very confused about the omelette vs. frittata vs. tortilla question. A tortilla is not at all similar to omelettes and frittatas. This may be a cultural difference.

To answer the OP's question, all of the above except the flan would be enhanced by adding cheese. :)

What flying goose said

No need for cheese in a tortilla. The other 2 can be cheese/no cheese as preferred.

The word "tortilla" is a diminutive of "torta", which roughly translates as "flat cake". It is used for flat bread products and, most pertinently for this thread, a Spanish omelette layered with potato and onion.

Tortilla espagnola is made with eggs. Mexican tortilla is a flat bread.

Cheese in a tortilla? No no no no.

But.. but.. tortilla is a specific recipe that I have never seen made with cheese except in non-Spanish bastardisations of the foodstuff
