What is a Frittata ?

Also called an Italian omelette, frittata is an egg-based dish similar to a crustless quiche and loaded with veggies. This is my vegan version that can be made on the stove top (the quickest method) or the oven. I really hope you give it a try, it might just become a new favorite. You can follow the oven method below and bake it inside a pie crust but that is a little bit more involved and time consuming.

The Veggies

I sautéed a mix of onion, bell pepper, broccoli and bok choy. This changes based on what’s in season, you can use whatever you like here: asparagus, zucchini, butternut squash, cauliflower, eggplant, tomatoes, potatoes etc. Measure about 2 to 3 cups for a hearty veggie loaded frittata.

Chickpea Frittata Batter

The Batter

The base of the frittata batter is chickpea flour whisked together with spices and plant milk or water. This can be quickly done by hand but the fluffiest texture is achieved when using a blender.

The Eggy Flavor

The magic of the eggy flavor come from the sulfur salt Kala Namak, same seasoning I use for my tofu scramble as well. Of course the dish is still delicious without it so if you don’t have any don’t let that hold you back from making it.

Best Vegan Frittata with broccoli, bell peppers and bok choy

  • Storage:

If you happen to have any leftovers they can be stored in the refrigerator in a lidded container for up to 5 days. Reheats well in the toaster oven or the microwave for about a minute or so.

  • Can I make it as a Quiche ?

Absolutely! Make sure to bake a whole wheat pie crust ahed of time. Saute the veggies, add them to the pie crust then pour the chickpea frittata batter on top. Bake in a preheated 375”F oven for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean.

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat a 10 inch cast iron skillet over medium heat and sear the smoky tempeh until golden. Use a spoon and transfer to a bowl and set a side.
  • Add a light drizzle of olive oil to the skillet (or veggie stock for WFPB Plantricious compliance) and sautee the onion with a pinch of salt until softened and starts to get some color.
  • Add the broccoli florets, bell pepper and tougher parts of the bok choy. Cook until it al dente or soft to your liking.
  • Meanwhile combine all the batter ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Alternatively you can use a whisk and do it by hand.
  • Pour the batter over the sautéed veggies, sprinkle with the tempeh and if using the vegan feta cheese. Continue cooking 2 to 3 minutes until you see the sides starting to set.
  • At this point you can transfer the frittata under the broiler for anther 2 to 3 minutes until the top is golden to your liking and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean. Alternatively you can carefully flip the frittata in the pan and cook another 2-3 minutes just like you would a pancake.
  • How to Make a Frittata Quiche
  • Start by baking a pie crust ahead of time (i use a frozen crust and follow package directions). Sautee the veggies, add them to the cooked pie crust then pour the chickpea frittata batter on top. Sprinkle with the tempeh and vegan feta cheese and bake in a preheated 375”F oven for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean.

Notes

  • Storage: If you happen to have any leftovers they can be stored in the refrigerator in a lidded container for up to 5 days. Reheats well in the toaster oven or the microwave for about a minute or so.

    I ended up using 1 cup milk and 1 cup of water. It came out pretty good. Cooked it in a pie pan with parchment paper on the bottom and frozen hash browns for the crust at 375 for 45 minutes.
