- 1 cup Trader Joe’s Vegan Egg or your favorite egg alternative
- 1 medium fennel bulb thinly sliced
- 3-4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup brussels sprouts halved or quartered
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon vegan butter
- 1 cup vegan cheese shredded
- Pinch of salt and black pepper to taste
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Vegetables: Using a vegetable peeler or knife, slice the fennel bulb and brussels sprouts thinly. Mince the garlic.
Sauté the Vegetables: In a large frying pan or cast-iron skillet, heat olive oil and vegan butter over medium heat. Add the sliced fennel, brussels sprouts, and garlic. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Mix the Egg Alternative: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Trader Joe’s Vegan Egg mixture until smooth. Pour it over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet, ensuring even distribution.
Add Cheese: Sprinkle the vegan cheese over the top of the frittata mixture.
Bake: Cook on the stove for an additional 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set. Then, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven or place under the broiler for 10-15 minutes until the frittata is firm and golden brown on top.
Serve: Let it cool slightly before slicing into wedges. Serve with a nice green salad or your favorite tomato salad for a complete meal!
