We love hosting brunch and this recipe is front and center even for my non vegan friends because honestly they can’t tell the difference. This plant based Frittata is light, fluffy and luscious with the creamy tofu. Adding black salt gives it that eggy flavor and would convinced even a die hard egg eater!
What you will need
- Firm silken tofu, I prefer the shelf stable on, because you can always make this at anytime
- Nutritional yeast for that umami flavor
- Dried spices like thyme, basil or Italian season, you pick your favorite
- Potatoes, all purpose like yukon gold work well
- Vegetables of your choice, I’m using broccoli, red peppers, but this recipe is great for cleaning out your fridge
- Aromatics, garlic and onions. You can use leeks or shallots if that’s what you have.
- Springform pan but you can also cook this in a casserole dish
To pull your brunch together, I like bacon tempeh, toast or bagels and a gorgeous fruit platter.
