How to Prepare Oil-Free Mexican Frittata [Vegan]

  1. Preheat oven to 375F.
  2. Grease a square or round pan (8-inch or so) and set aside.
  3. Put tofu, nutritional yeast, cornstarch, salt, garlic powder, onion powder and mustard in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape sides as necessary.
  4. Transfer to a mixing bowl and mix with Old bay seasoning. If the mixture doesn't look speckled, add more (note: more seasoning is better than less, so be generous).
  5. Stir in bell peppers, black beans and cilantro if using, leaving a few leaves aside for garnish.
  6. Pour into your prepared baking dish and bake for 45 minutes, or until golden and cooked through in the middle.
  7. Serve with hot sauce such as Cholula on the table.
