🥘Recipe Ingredients
Gather your ingredients!
- Tofu – when blended and seasoned properly, tofu makes the perfect eggy alternative for vegans. We are using an extra firm in this recipe, but firm tofu would also would. You wouldn’t want to do a silken, soft, or super firm tofu for this particular recipe.
- Walnut Crumbles – we are using our walnut sausage crumbles recipe for a meaty component to this dish that is made ahead of time
- Veggies – our veggies of choice were baby spinach, arugula, artichoke hearts and asparagus, as well as onions and garlic for an aromatic touch
- Cornstarch – this helps to make the recipe thicken while baking and give the perfect texture for what you remember in a frittata
See my recipe card below for a complete list of the ingredients with measurements.
