A place to be enlightened, encouraged & inspired

Fina’s Famous Spanish Frittata

November 27, 2016

Fina was my Spanish neighbor who lived diagonally across the street from our home when we were stationed in San Antonio.   She was an older lady & all of her kids were out of the house & had their own families all spread across the country. Her husband worked for Lockheed Martin & always traveled for business which left her alone 4 out of 7 days of the week. When we moved onto her street, within a matter of hours, she knocked on the door with a round pie dish in hand. At the time I was very pregnant with RJ, tired from the move & grumpy as hell.  I vividly remember answering the door to the most pleasant person who’s warmth radiated in just a few words “Welcome to the neighborhood”. Those words made the grump go away…wait I lie, maybe it was the round plate of food that made the grumpy monster subside. 

She didn’t want to stay but wanted to welcome us & leave us with a plate of her “famous Spanish Frittata”.  That night, I fell in love with Fina’s Famous Spanish Frittata. A day later I sent her a written Thank you note & told her that I ate the whole pie by myself. TBT (Truth be told) her tortilla had onions in it…lots of onions & large pieces of it. Both the hubs & our oldest kid despise onions which meant more for me!!!!! 

Frittata’s are like a crustless Quiche. Fina’s famous Spanish Frittata was simply eggs, onions & potato’s with a pinch of salt, pepper & garlic. Fina would bring over a Frittata at least once a month & before we PCS’d from San Antonio, she taught me how to make it & told me in Spain, it’s called Tortilla Espanol. 

I have since adapted Fina’s recipe to add my own spin on it. I’ve included both Fina’s recipe & my own below.  A few years ago, I was saddened to find that Fina had passed. Her warmth & kindness to a young mother who was far away from home will never be forgotten!
