Mediterranean, Spanish Omelet, Quiche Fusion Recipe — Help name this Mediterranean, Spanish Omelet, Quiche-inspired recipe.

Coming up with new recipes in a camper can sometimes be difficult. It's summer, and the goal is to create something light and flavorful, using in-season veggies in a one-pot or pan dish. I looked around my kitchen and assessed what I had on hand, as well as what would soon go bad. So, I gathered those veggies along with other ingredients, and I came up with a recipe that's a riff on Mediterranean cuisine, inspired by the Spanish omelet and the quiche.

As always, I made too much, so I shared some with a neighbor and friend here in the campground. Sally loved it, saying it woke up her taste buds and asked for the recipe's name. I didn't expect that question, and I didn't have an answer. But why not involve more people in this culinary adventure?

Can you come up with a name? Below is the recipe, along with links to the specific products I used.

Name this Mediterranean, Spanish Omelet, Quiche Fusion Recipe

2 large golden potatoes or an equal amount

1 small to medium sweet potato or yam

1 small onion

1 large shallot

1 tsp Italian seasoning (homemade)

Salt & pepper to taste

Olive Oil (Amazon)

Utensils

Directions

Turn oven on to 425°F. You could also bake outside on a grill.
Oil the plate with 2 - 3 Tbsp olive oil.
Wash all veggies. Peel potatoes or just cut out spots, your choice.
With the mandolin on a thick setting (I used setting #3), slice the potatoes, onion, and shallot. Slice & dice red pepper.
Arrange potatoes like a pie crust on the bottom and the sides of the dish.
Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes.
Salt and pepper potatoes.
Spread the onions and the shallots over the potatoes.
Drizzle olive oil over the onions, shallots, and peppers.
Salt and pepper.
Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of Italian Seasoning over the entire plate.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes.
Remove from the oven.
Beat eggs with half and half.
Crumble Feta cheese over the entire plate.
Pour eggs over the entire plate.
Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of the Italian Seasoning, salt & pepper.
Recover with the aluminum foil.
Bake for approximately 20-30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for five minutes before serving.
Serve with homemade, sourdough, or deli-baked bread and/or salad. This fusion recipe, which I need a name for, will easily feed 4-6 people.
