Like Linky, I used some leftover potatoes in this which was a great way to use it up. This "tortilla" was enjoyed very much as breakfast for dinner. Used the leeks and peas and because I love fava beans, wished I had used them, but will next time. Thank you, ellie, for sharing. Made it for The Joy of Vegetables.

I made this for lunch today with left over fried potatoes, so it didn't take as long to cook. I only used green peas, no favas. We liked this a lot!
