Torta is a Spanish-inspired breakfast dish that's perfect for those who love big flavors and hearty meals in the morning. This dish is essentially a frittata loaded with potatoes, onions, and garlic, making it a savory and satisfying option. It's best enjoyed with a cup of coffee or tea and some fresh fruit on the side. You can also customize this recipe to suit your taste preferences by adding in different veggies or spices.

Instructions

1.	Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2.	Peel and chop your potatoes and onions. Heat oil in a 10' oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes and sauté until they start to brown, about 10 minutes. Add onion and garlic and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
3.	Meanwhile, beat eggs, milk, salt, and pepper together in a separate bowl.
4.	Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes and continue cooking until the edges start to set, about 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for a further 10 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set.
5.	Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or salsa.
