This is a great way to use leftover veggies. Cooking for two people, we often end up using only half a head of broccoli or just a portion of a bell pepper. These mini frittatas take some time to bake, but not much active time, and it's pretty darn easy.
I served the frittatas with a basic spinach, tomato and walnut salad and a balsamic vinaigrette. I subbed agave nectar for honey in this Bare Feet in the Kitchen recipe to keep it vegan. Turns out, dipping the frittatas into the dressing is pretty darn tasty. Highly recommend.
I also served it with a strawberry mimosa. What's #brunch without bubbly?
Recipe by the Mostly Vegan | Serves: 6 frittatas | Time: ~45 min.
Ingredients
1.5 cups assorted chopped veggies (I went with #broccoli, #spinach and red #bellpepper)
1/4 cup green onion, thinly sliced
1 tbsp, plus additional oil for brushing muffin tins
1 cup chickpea (garbanzo bean) flour
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 F. Combine chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl with 2 1/2 cups water. Whisk to combine and set aside while preparing the veggies.
Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a skillet. Add all veggies to skillet (except for green onions) and cook until veggies cook down and begin to brown, about 7 minutes. Add green onions to skillet and cook 2 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper to taste and remove from heat.
Brush a standard sized muffin tin and one smaller, 6 muffin tin with olive oil. Divide veggie mixture between muffin cups by the heaping tablespoon. Divide any remaining veggies between cups. Using a 1/4 cup measure, fill cups with chickpea batter. Use a spoon to gently stir each cup to ensure the batter gets under the veggies.
Bake for 30 - 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and frittatas are beginning to brown on top. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes (this allows the batter to set) before removing from tin and cooling on a rack. Depending on your muffin tin, you may have to use a knife or offset spatula to gently loosen sides of frittatas before removing from tin.
Serve warm. I served with a small spinach salad to get even more veggies into this awesome vegan #breakfast.
