Vegan Frittata Recipe

Try not to feel overwhelmed by the ingredients list, as the reward will be worth the effort. 

Tofu “Egg” Base:

• 1 pack silken tofu, drained 
• ¼ cup non-dairy milk (unsweetened)
• 2 tbsp cornstarch 
• 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1 tsp strong dijon mustard 
• ½ tsp dried oregano 
• ½ tsp dried thyme 
• ½ tsp dried tarragon
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp salt 
• ¼ tsp turmeric 
• ⅛ tsp cracked black pepper 

Tofu Egg Instructions: 

1. To make the tofu “egg”, simply add all the ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth. Season to taste.
2. If the mixture needs more moisture for smoothness, add ½ a tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil at a time, until desired consistency is achieved. 

Vegan Frittata Filling:

• 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 medium potatoes, diced
• 1 small red onion, diced
• 1 zucchini, diced
• 1 bell pepper, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 large handful grape tomatoes, halved
• 1 large handful spinach 
• Pinch of red pepper flakes 
• Generous pinch of sea salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. 
2. In a large pan, heat the olive oil over a medium heat. Sauté the potatoes for five minutes. Add the onions and sauté for a further five minutes. Add the zucchini, bell pepper and garlic and cook until tender and softened. Add the tomatoes, spinach and red pepper flakes and cook for another two minutes. Season to taste and remove from the heat. 
3. Add the tofu “egg” mixture to the pan with the vegetables and mix well, until everything is well combined. 
4. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or springform pan. Spoon in the mixture and level the top of the frittata flat using the back of a wooden spoon or spatula. Press tightly to ensure there are no gaps. 
5. Place the frittata in the middle of the oven and cook for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the frittata is firm to the touch and slightly browned. Remove from the oven and allow to cook for at least ten minutes in the pie dish before removing. Your vegan frittata is now ready to be enjoyed either as a hearty vegan breakfast, light but filling lunch, or as a simple yet delicious dinner. Enjoy!
