Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup JUST Egg (plant-based egg substitute)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small zucchini, diced
  • 1 cup spinach or kale, chopped (optional)

Ingredient Highlights

  • JUST Egg: This plant-based egg substitute made from mung beans is the key ingredient in this frittata. It mimics the texture and flavor of traditional eggs while being cruelty-free, vegan, and Halal.
  • Vegetables: Onions, bell peppers, zucchini, and spinach add flavor, color, and nutrition to the frittata, making it a well-rounded meal.
  • Plant-Based Cheese: While optional, plant-based cheese adds a creamy, melty texture that enhances the frittata’s richness.
  • Turmeric: This yellow spice not only adds a warm color but also brings anti-inflammatory properties to the dish.
  • Olive Oil: A heart-healthy fat that adds flavor and helps sauté the vegetables.

Instructions

Prepare the Vegetables:

  1. Prep the Veggies: Start by washing and chopping all your vegetables. Dice the onion, bell pepper, zucchini, and chop the spinach or kale if using. Having everything ready to go will make the cooking process smoother.

Cook the Vegetables:

  1. Sauté the Vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or vegetable oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and zucchini. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are softened and lightly browned.
  2. Add the Greens: If you’re using spinach or kale, add it to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the greens are wilted.

Add the JUST Egg:

  1. Pour in the JUST Egg: Pour 1 cup of JUST Egg over the cooked vegetables. Stir gently to ensure the veggies are evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.
  2. Season the Frittata: Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Stir once more to mix everything together.

Cook the Frittata:

  1. Let It Set: Allow the frittata to cook on the stovetop over medium-low heat for about 5-7 minutes, just until the edges begin to set. You should be able to gently shake the skillet and see the frittata beginning to firm up around the edges.
  2. Add Cheese (Optional): If you’re using plant-based cheese, sprinkle it over the top of the frittata at this point.
  3. Finish in the Oven: Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.

Serve:

  1. Cool and Slice: Once the frittata is done baking, let it cool in the skillet for a few minutes. Slice it into wedges or squares, and garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro, if desired.
