Spanish Tortilla Bites

3 tbsp. olive oil

1/2 green pepper, finely chopped

1/2 medium onion, finely chopped

1 can new potatoes, drained, sliced, and blotted dry with paper towels (otherwise the oil splatters and ouchie)

2 slices deli sandwich ham, finely chopped (unless they're really small/thin; then you might want to double up)

5 eggs

2 tbsp. water

3/4 tsp. salt

fresh black pepper

1/4 cup jarred roasted red pepper, chopped finely

1 cup cheddar cheese

Heat oil in a skillet, then add pepper, onion, and potatoes. Cook over medium high heat, stirring frequently, until veggies caramelize, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and spread evenly in a greased small pan (I used an 8x10). Sprinkle with ham.

In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, water, salt and pepper. Stir in cheese and pepper. Pour evenly over onion mixture, redistributing cheese if necessary. Bake at 400 degrees for about 15-20 minutes, until edges are set and middle is soft, and a knife inserted in edges comes out dry, but a knife inserted in center comes out wet. Allow to cool to room temperature, then chill for at least 3 hours or overnight before cutting into however many rounds/squares/wedges you want.
