Eggless Frittata

When Vegan Brunch first came out out, every blogger and their mom made the Swiss Chard Frittata. But for some reason, it kept getting pushed down my to-make list, always losing out to the VB tofu omelet or tofu benedict. Well, I finally got around to making that frittata for this week's breakfast:

I'm not sure what I was waiting for! It only has a few simple ingredients and it includes super-healthy greens for a morning power boost. I've made a number of vegan frittatas in my day from various cookbooks, but this one has the most authentic texture and taste. I bet you could even fool an omni with this recipe.

This morning, I served myself a generous slice of frittata, a piece of whole grain toast slathered in Earth Balance and raspberry fruit spread, and a glass of iced green tea. Thankfully, the recipe made four servings so I'll be enjoying the same breakfast for three more days!

    This looks DELICIOUS! I love frittatas, and if they are filling with leafy greens - even better!

    that looks amazing and if there is no soy in it, I'm in biz-nass. But I bet it's made with tofu. Gosh it looks great though!!!

    That looks great! Much better than the curried cauliflower one, which I liked, but didn't LOVE.

    I have yet to make this also. Sounds like it needs to be bumped to the top of the list!

    I LOVE eggless frittatas.

    Also, I was at the bookstore last night, and saw "30 Minutes Vegan" sitting on the shelf. I have tried to ban myself from buying anymore cookbooks for awhile, but I kept thinking about your un-stiryfry from last week, so I couldn't help myself... I blame you, Bianca! :) But I'm excited to start using the book. All the recipes look/sound delicious!

    Looks delicious! I've been planning on making that recipe too. I need to bump it back to the top of my list after seeing how good yours looks! It looks like it stayed together nicely.

    Those fritattas are so easy & delicious. I made the dill-shiitake one the other day and it blew my mind.

    I LOVE FRITTATA! Such a warm, comforting dish for anytime. I love mine with loads of shrooms, onions and garlic. This one looks fantastic!
