TIP:
|
|
This omelette is also delicious when served cold, and it is a favorite picnic dish in Spain. The omelette is left to get quite cold (it can if desired be made the night before), and is packed between two plates in the picnic basket. To serve it, cut and place between slices or rolls of bread and butter, accompanied by salad.
