Vegan Vegetable Frittata

Description

You can add any sautéed vegetables to your frittata. We chose onions, Shitake mushrooms, broccoli, and spinach because Patty was craving spinach, we had broccoli, and, well, aren’t Shitakes and onions good in just about any frittata. Red pepper would also be a nice addition and add color. We find the Just Egg liquid egg product to be a staple in the Spiral House kitchen now. It’s healthy, full of protein and substitutes well for the real thing. It’s also a more humane and environmentally sustainable alternative to chicken eggs. We now know that following a vegan diet is the single greatest beneficial impact we can have on the environment. (See https://www.pcrm.org/good-nutrition/vegan-diet-environment for more information.
