I served this baked frittata most recently with a side dish of roasted potatoes and fresh fruit. The family agreed this recipe is a keeper! 

Are frittata and quiche the same thing?

No, but they’re close.

The only difference is that a quiche has a crust. A frittata does not have a crust.

Ingredients for Tofu and Broccoli Frittata:

  • olive oil
  • yellow onion
  • garlic
  • broccoli florets – fresh or frozen both work with this recipe
  • extra-firm tofu
  • unsweetened almond milk
  • vegan parmesan cheese
  • parsley
  • sea salt
  • ground black pepper
  • ground nutmeg
  • Dijon mustard
  • red pepper flakes – optional

How to make Tofu and Broccoli Frittata:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Into a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. When the olive oil is hot, add the yellow onion. Saute for 3 minutes, until softened.

Add the garlic and chopped broccoli.

Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until broccoli is heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Into a high-speed blender or food processor, add extra firm tofu, unsweetened almond milk. vegan parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, sea salt, ground black pepper, ground nutmeg, dijon mustard, and red pepper flakes (if using).

Blend or process until consistency is smooth, about 2 minutes. Time will vary depending on the speed and equipment used.

Into a large mixing bowl, add the tofu mixture and broccoli mixture. Stir to combine.

Pour the entire mixture into an 11″ prepared baking pan.

Bake 35 minutes, until frittata is set.

Note: This recipe calls for broccoli that is already cooked. 

There are two options here:

  • fresh broccoli     
  • frozen broccoli – works just as well as fresh; just make sure the broccoli is thawed completely and drained well.

How to serve frittata:

The beauty of this dish is in its versatility! 

Frittatas are served hot, warm, room temperature, and cold. Personally, I think they taste best around room temperature.

How to reheat leftover frittata:

There are three ways and they are not all equal.

  • In the oven: 300 degrees F for about 15 minutes is all it takes. This is the best method, in my opinion.
  • On the stove: In a non-stick skillet over low heat, add the leftover frittata. Cover and heat for about 5 minutes.
  • In the microwave: I don’t recommend this method because it can result in a texture that is not as firm. But, if you must use the microwave… heat the leftovers, uncovered, for 30 seconds at 50% power.

Cheers!

      Thank you! The frittata should be baked at 375 degrees F. The post has been updated to make that more clear. 🙂
