This Spanish-style tortilla recipe isn't only hearty and delicious, its lower calorie content per serving means that it's heart-healthy, too!

Note: This recipe is adapted from one that was found in the December, 2013 issue of Spry Living.

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 1 lb of potatoes, quartered lengthwise and then thinly sliced crosswise
• 1 medium chopped onion
• 6 medium eggs, or 1 1/2 cups of egg substitute
• 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese (another option is shredded Manchego Curado cheese)
• 1 jar (14 ounces) of diced, drained pimiento

Directions:

1. Begin by preheating the oven to 400 Degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Heat the olive oil over medium-high stovetop heat in a medium, ovenproof skillet.
3. Swirl the olive oil around so that the bottom of the skillet is covered.
4. Stir together the onion and the potatoes in a large bowl.
5. Transfer the onion/potato mixture to the skillet.
6. Use a spatula to gently spread and press the potato/onion mixture into an even layer.
7. Reduce the stovetop heat to low.
8. Cook the potato/onion mixture, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the tortilla is noticeably set.
9. In the meantime, whisk together the cheese, pimiento, and eggs or egg substitute in a large bowl.
10. Pour this new mixture over the potato mixture and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes - again, until the tortilla is noticeably set.
11. Serve the completed tortilla directly from the skillet, or slide it onto a serving plate, cutting it into 6 wedges.
