Vegan Garden Frittata
Vegan Garden Frittata
I realize it sounds too good to be true but eggs are irrelevant when it comes to enjoying an incredible frittata. JUST Egg is such a wonderful alternative (its made from plants) and cooks nearly identically to real eggs. This recipe is super simple and easily doubled. My favorite part? You can modify this recipe however you damn well please. Whether its due to food allergies or your need to get rid of some leftovers, seriously, throw whatever you want in this bad boy. I’ve honest-to-god made a breakfast frittata with leftover taco meat, sauteed vegetables, and guacamole. Thank you, Taco Tuesday. Be courageous and see what kinds of ass-backwards combinations you can come up with. The way I look at it, the less food I’m throwing away, the more I can help save money and (BONUS!) the planet. Happy brunching!
The Recipe
Total Cook Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 1 - 2 (double recipe in a medium pan for 2 - 4)
Ingredients:
6 fl oz Just Egg
½ cup Violife Cheddar Shreds
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 cup spinach
½ avocado
A pinch of crushed red pepper
1/3 cup onion
¼ cup orange pepper (or green or red or yellow or purple you get it)
1 Tbsp jalapeño
Optional: hot sauce
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 C).
2. Place a small skillet over medium heat.
3. Thinly slice onion, pepper, and jalapeno. Add vegetables to skillet with olive oil and crushed red pepper.
4. Sautee for approximately five minutes.
5. Add spinach. For efficiency, rest a lid on top to help wilt.
6. Add Just Egg, allowing it to surround vegetables and fill skillet.
7. Place skillet in oven for roughly 8 – 10 minutes.
8. With a hot pad! remove the skillet and add vegan cheese. Again, with a hot pad (can you tell I’ve made this mistake before?), place skillet back in the oven for an additional 5 – 7 minutes.
9. Once finished, allow to cool for at least two minutes. Add avocado and optional hot sauce on top. Season with salt and pepper if desired. Go crazy by serving it in the skillet for extra sustainability points. Fewer dishes = less water.
