🥘 Ingredients For Vegan Frittata (With Substitutions)
- Egg Replacer – I use Just Egg for this vegan frittata recipe, but you can use whatever egg-replacer you have on hand or can find in your supermarket.
- Non-Dairy Cheese Shreds – you can usually find these at your local grocery store. I prefer cheddar for this recipe, but any vegan cheese will work.
- Olive Oil – a monounsaturated fatty acid that’s been found to lower total cholesterol and LDL, the “bad” cholesterol. If unavailable, any neutral oil will do.
- Fresh Vegetables – for this Frittata Recipe (Vegan), I include fresh onion, red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms and spinach. However, you can substitute with any fresh vegetables, and even some potatoes; or whatever you have on hand.
- Vegan Bacon Bits – you can either buy vegan bacon bits online or at the grocery store or make my Banana Peel Bacon, wait for it to cool and crumble into bits.
- Fresh Rosemary – I use fresh rosemary from my garden but you can substitute with any fresh herbs you have on hand, such as parsley, oregano, basil, or thyme.
- Dairy-Free Heavy Cream – this is hard to find. If you can find it, I suggest buying a case of it so it lasts for a while. The brand I use is from the Netherlands, and always out of stock. You can substitute with any kind of plant milk.
- Black Salt – also known as Kala Namak.This is a wonderful Indian spice that gives the frittata recipe a distinctive egg flavor. If unavailable, use regular sea salt.
- Black Pepper – used as a flavor enhancer and to add a touch of heat. White pepper would also work fine.

👩🏿🍳 Expert Tips
- Before using Just Egg, be sure to shake it for about 20-30 seconds.
- Feel free to customize the ingredients based on your preferences and dietary needs when making this vegan frittata recipe. You can add different vegetables, a variety of dairy-free cheese blends, potatoes and/or herbs to make it your own.
- Be sure to grease the skillet really well to prevent the Just Egg Frittata from sticking to the bottom of the cast iron skillet.
