Vegan Breakfast Recipe: Egg-free Asparagus Frittata

Since going vegan, I have missed Frittata’s and quiches, so I’ve searched for recipes to fill the gap.  After some experimentation, I came up with this Egg-free Asparagus Frittata version.  If you over bake it, it get’s too dry though, so I recommend sticking to the 20 minute backing time.  You can also substitute other veggies if you prefer, but asparagus is a classic for me.  I usually serve it greens and a light vinaigrette.

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
2. Place you pan and 1 Tbsp of olive oil into the preheated oven to pre-heat the pan. A cast iron pan is best, but an 8 or 9 inch square baking pan would work, too.
3. Stir all the dry ingredients together and pour in the water.
4. Mix well and then stir in 1 Tbsp of the Extra Virgin Olive Oil
5. Let the batter sit for 10 minutes or so while prepping the veggies.
6. After the batter as sat for 10 minutes and veggies are ready, mix vegges and batter together until well incorporated.
7. Take the heating pan out of the oven. Pour the batter mixture in and spread out evenly.
8. Bake for 20 to 30 Minutes. I caution against over baking as it will be dry if you do that, so stick closer to the 20 minutes if it is set.
9. Once it is somewhat firm, brush on 1 Tbsp of the Extra Virgin olive oil and it's ready to serve!
