Description
A plant-based twist on the classic frittata, this vegan version is made with tofu, sautéed vegetables, and savory spices. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner, it's hearty, satisfying, and full of flavor without any eggs or dairy.
Ingredients
14 oz (400g) firm tofu, drained and pressed
1/4 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons cornstarch (or arrowroot powder)
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1 small onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 cup fresh spinach
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or oven-safe skillet.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the tofu, non-dairy milk, nutritional yeast, 1 tablespoon olive oil, cornstarch, turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Blend until completely smooth.
- In a skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion, mushrooms, and red bell pepper for about 5–6 minutes until softened. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted.
- Spread the cooked veggies evenly in the greased pie dish. Pour the tofu mixture on top and smooth it out with a spatula.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, until firm to the touch and lightly golden on top.
- Let cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
Notes
Swap in any leftover vegetables like zucchini, cherry tomatoes, or broccoli.
Add vegan cheese for extra richness.
Spice it up with chili flakes or jalapeños.
Try a Mediterranean variation with olives and sun-dried tomatoes.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
To make it oil-free, sauté veggies in water or broth and omit oil from the blend.
Generously grease the baking dish or use a nonstick one to prevent sticking.
