Eggless Vegan Frittata
Featured in Dr. Jinan Banna’s recent collection of healthy brunch ideas, this savory breakfast dish is a great prep-ahead option for busy weekday breakfasts. It is rich in flavor, easy to take on the go, high in protein (thank you, tofu!) and rich in micronutrients from the vegetables. If preparing for an infant under the age of 12 months, consider omitting the soy sauce and salt. Cook in a cast iron pan to help boost iron intake!

Eggless Vegan Frittata Recipe
Eggless Vegan Frittata

Ingredients
- 1 block (14 ounces) extra firm tofu
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons of your favorite unsweetened, plain plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch/arrowroot starch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- ¾ Kosher teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Dash of turmeric powder (for color)
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- ½ large finely diced onion
- 2 ½ cups (11 ½ ounces) finely minced cremini mushrooms
- ½ large finely diced red bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herb seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups (9 ounces) finely chopped baby spinach
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Combine all “tofu egg” ingredients into a food processor or a high-speed blender. Blend until thick, smooth, and creamy.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and add the avocado oil. Once the oil starts to shimmer, sauté the onion until translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add cremini mushrooms to skillet and sauté until mushrooms have decreased in size, about 5-10 minutes.
- Add red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Season with Italian herb seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Add the baby spinach and cook until wilted.
- Turn off the heat and add the “tofu egg” mixture to the cast iron skillet. Mix until evenly combined, spreading the frittata mixture throughout the pan with a rubber spatula until the surface is even.
- Bake in the oven until firm and lightly browned on top, about 35 minutes.
- Cool on the stovetop in the pan for 10-20 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Store frittata in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
