There are different ways to make an egg-less frittata that usually involve egg replacements or tofu. This recipe uses neither. The “egg mixture” is chickpea flour, water, and almond milk to make this egg-free frittata recipe.

A frittata is an Italian egg dish that can be baked in a skillet. The term loosely means “fried.” Many people now bake frittatas in the oven. This is a no-egg frittata which is a great way to eat a nutritional breakfast dish for people who are cutting back on eggs or do not enjoy an egg substitute. This is the perfect addition to your family’s healthy breakfast (or dinner) recipe files.

Tips and variations for making this Easy Egg-Free Vegetable Frittata Recipe:

● Add some color to your egg-free frittata with colorful veggies such as red onion or colored cherry tomatoes (red, yellow, and orange).
● If you buy minced garlic in the jar, 1 tablespoon = 3 garlic cloves
● You will need an 8″ non-stick skillet that can go in the oven, too (oven-safe skillet). A cast iron skillet or other oven-proof skillet would work. You can also use a 9 x 5-inch baking dish if you don’t have a pan that can go in the oven.
● When in Italy, we were taught that extra virgin olive oil is for salad, and regular olive oil is for cooking. If you only have extra virgin olive oil, use it, but as it is more expensive, save it for salads, not cooking if you have a choice.
● When frying the mushrooms in olive oil, use medium or medium-high heat, not low heat. You’ll be there all night waiting for them to cook.
● If you do not like almond milk, substitute another type of milk, such as soy milk or other dairy-free milk. You can use whole milk instead of almond milk. Just recognize that the recipe flavor will change.
● You can substitute black salt for white salt.
● You can substitute white pepper for black pepper.
● You can use red onion, white onion, or sweet onion to make this recipe.
● If you prefer to substitute green onions for the onion listed, recognize that it has a completely different taste and adjust accordingly.
● If you do not have portobello mushrooms, substitute baby bella mushrooms.
● To make this into a vegan frittata recipe, omit the Parmesan cheese.
● If you do not like cilantro (it isn’t everyone’s favorite herb) try fresh basil, oregano, or any other fresh herbs you might like.
● This recipe is made with simple ingredients commonly found in your local grocery store.
