Spanish Tortilla w. Fresh Goat's Milk Cheese


Farmer's Market Favorite


Fresh Egg and Goat's Milk Cheese Tortilla

w. Vegan Alioli and Green Onions

This is a lighter version of the famous Spanish Tapa called Tortilla. Traditionally, one begins by frying the heck out of sliced fresh from the market red potatoes in olive oil til golden. Then you oak the potatoes in an egg and milk combo for 10-15 minutes. All of this mixture in poured into a skillet and produces what looks like a fruttata.

In my healthier version, I use Almond Milk instead of dairy and use only four eggs instead of 6. My eggs are also from the farmers market, from a farm in St. Augustine and they are labeled "for pet consumption only" because they are not pastuerized. Pastuerization is needed from factory farmed eggs where chickens are raised in cages on top of one another and they are literally living in fecies. Anyway back to the food...

I also add onions. green onions, spinach, whatever greens you would like. You have to throw in greens where ever you can. You will thank yourself some day.

The fresh goat cheese from the same farm is much more like curds or ricotta than chevre.
it is not processed and not pastuerized so it has probiotics in them.


The alioli is veganaise, lemon juice, white miso and fresh garlic all blended together!
