If you had a choice AND like any of these: Quiche, Frittata, Strata, Tortilla (a Spanish egg dish) or Omelet with similar "fillings" aka ham and swiss, veggies etc. If you don't like eggs or any of the above. Got it.
Which do you prefer?
I like the Tortilla with thinly sliced potatoes and chorizo. (spanish wine dry aged type of chorizo) (See pic further down this page)
Since the Edit was still open: If I didn't mention your favorite baked egg dish, what's yours?

I'm the opposite -- I love an omelet or frittata, but it needs to have a lot of fillings. I'm that person at an omelet bar who points at basically everything (except the ham/bacon) and says "YES, please!"
I love every one! Like momtothree says--a Spanish tortilla has absolutely nothing to do with a Mexican tortilla. It's a baked egg dish with no "bread" product whatsoever.
Maybe you should have included some Mexican-style egg dishes as well. (I love those, too )
Tie between a good quiche and a good strata. My mother used to make strata on Christmas Eve, alon with a fruit salad and a green salad.
We'd have a hearty brunch after opening presents. Stratas are not that popular now it seems. But I like them. You can make them ahead and pop them in the oven when you're ready.
Quiches went through a lot of popularity in the 1980s, then seemed to fade from the menu. It was one of the first things that I learned to cook well! I remember having quiche, spinach salad and a loaf of crusty bread served with wine, at many casual brunches during that time period.
Omelets are nice but thet don't keep well. You kind of need to make one for each person so they are work intensive.
I've never had the Spanish Tortilla, but it looks quite tasty!

This thread was inspired by baked egg dishes. My husband won't eat a quiche but will eat an omelet or tortilla etc.
For some reason, I don't like the texture or flavor of baked eggs. Not sure why, as I eat eggs often. When I make egg dishes in the oven, they just don't taste good.
I will stick with my stove top. And since mi abuela is from Mexico, Migas was a staple in our home. Eggs scrambled with corn tortillas.
