Frittata Ingredients
  • 1 cup cooked green or brown lentils
  • 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes oil-packed, drained
  • 1/2 cup chopped Kalamata olives
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup vegan egg substitute such as Just Egg or chickpea flour mixture

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.

  4. In a large bowl, combine lentils, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, basil, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper.
  5. Pour the lentil mixture into the skillet with the sautéed onions and garlic. Spread evenly.
  6. Pour vegan egg substitute over the lentil mixture, ensuring it covers everything evenly.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the frittata is set and lightly golden on top.
  8. Optional: Sprinkle with vegan feta cheese crumbles during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  9. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use smoked paprika instead of regular paprika. You can also add other vegetables like spinach or bell peppers.
