7. Build in a line just below the centre: cheese first (it melts and glues everything), then potatoes, sausage, eggs, avocado and spring onion.

8. Fold the sides in, then roll from the bottom, tucking tightly as you go.

Chef’s Tips

• Cheese goes on the tortilla first. It melts into a layer that stops the tortilla going soggy.
• Do not overfill. Two-thirds of what you think will fit is what will actually roll.
• Wrap in foil and freeze for up to 2 months — reheat from frozen at 180°C for 25 minutes.

Common Substitutions & Variations

• Double cream won't whip if you swap it, but for the cooking itself, full-fat crème fraîche or a lower-fat single cream works in its place.
• Out of spring onions? A small regular onion, finely sliced, or a few chives stirred in at the end both cover the job.

Pairing Suggestions

• Strong coffee or fresh orange juice
• Serve with hot sauce and extra salsa
• Follow with fruit

Storage & Reheating

Refrigerate 3 days wrapped in foil, or freeze 2 months. Reheat wrapped at 180°C / 355°F for 20 minutes, then unwrap and griddle to re-crisp.
