Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Vegan Frittata
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a food processor, blend together the firm tofu, cornstarch, nutritional yeast, turmeric, onion powder, garlic powder, regular salt, black salt, and soy milk until smooth and creamy.
  3. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and crushed garlic, sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  4. Stir in the sliced cremini mushrooms and red bell pepper. Sauté for an additional 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender, then fold in baby spinach until wilted.
  5. Carefully fold the creamy tofu mixture into the sautéed vegetables until well combined.
  6. Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish or an oven-safe skillet and smooth the top. Optionally sprinkle sundried tomatoes or red onion on top.
  7. Bake for 40 minutes in the preheated oven until firm to the touch and golden brown on top.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing into wedges and serving warm.

Quality tofu matters; avoid soft varieties for the best texture. Ensure vegetables are moisture-free to prevent sogginess.
