    The word came from Spain and there it means some type of cake or bread.

    To Torta in the Philippines means to make a type of egg dish mixed with some vegetable or protein or both. The most famous Filipino Torta is Tortang Talong (Eggplant Omelet) - 30 Minute Weeknight Meal.

    What we are going to make today is Tortang Patatas or Egg Omelet but as muffins. So that you can meal prep it and have it as an on the go breakfast or have it as a quick lunch with a salad.

    There is a Spanish version of this called Tortilla de Patatas. I know so confusing. In Spain omelettes are called Tortilla.

    How To Serve Tortang Patatas

    For breakfast I like to have it with some sliced fresh cherry tomatoes.

    For lunch I would serve the Tortang Patatas with a bit of mayo or banana ketchup and a side of salad.

    How to Store It

    Simply transfer any extra Tortang Patatas to a sealed container and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    You can also freeze them by wrapping individually and keeping stored in the fridge labeled with the date it was cooked. It may be kept frozen for up to 1 month.
