Ingredients
Here are the simple ingredients to make this vegan JUST Egg frittata; you can find the ingredients at the grocery store.
- Mushrooms - I used Baby Bella mushrooms.
- Leeks - I used two small leeks.
- Spinach - I used fresh baby spinach.
- Red bell pepper - chopped. Use any bell peppers you like! They're a great source of vitamin C.
- Artichoke hearts - I used canned artichoke hearts (not marinated in oil).
- Cherry tomatoes - Cut them in half to top the frittata right before you place it in the oven to bake.
- Vegan yogurt - I recommend a thick Greek-style yogurt.
- JUST Egg - I used 1 ½ cartons of this plant-based egg substitute, the new packaging, not the plastic containers. JUST Egg is vegan, non-GMO, and made from mung beans. I have tried other ingredients to make frittatas, such as a tofu mixture and chickpea flour; however, this product is the closest I have gotten to getting that egg-like texture. Learn more about it on the product website, including where to buy it.
- Soy milk - I used organic unsweetened.
- Herbes de Provence is a seasoning made of dried herbs that originated in the region of Provence, France. The flavors pair well with French and Mediterranean cuisines. You can buy it premade at the grocery store or make your own.
- Kala namak - This is known as Indian black mineral salt. I add it to give an eggy flavor. Find it at your local Indian grocery store or shop online. Use my code EMILYM to get a free 1.8 oz grinder top of Robusta Black Peppercorns with purchases $15+ at Burlap & Barrel.

Substitutions
Here are some substitutions you can try when making this vegan frittata recipe:

- Leeks - Use red onion, yellow or white onion, or green onions instead.
- Mushrooms - use a favorite vegetable of your choice - try broccoli.
- Cherry tomatoes - use any chopped fresh tomatoes.
- Vegan yogurt - vegan sour cream or cashew cream will work as well.
- Vegan cheddar and vegan Parm - use your favorite shredded vegan cheese.
- Herbes de Provence - try a mixture of dried herbs, such as basil, marjoram, and oregano.
- Extra virgin olive oil - use avocado oil or vegan butter instead.
Variations
Here are some variations you can try when making this eggless frittata:
- Spicy - add chili pepper flakes or stir in Calabrian red chile pepper paste. Or top with hot sauce before serving
- Seasoning - try Italian seasoning instead of Herbes de Provence or any other seasoning mix you enjoy.
- Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes for additional flavor, or add vegan sausage.
- Garnish with fresh herbs such as fresh parsley or fresh marjoram.
How to make a JUST Egg Frittata
It's easy to make this simple plant-based frittata recipe, even if it is your first time.
The method is similar to making a classic frittata, except I bake it in a baking dish instead of a cast-iron pan since my cast-iron pan isn't large enough for this recipe.
Preheat the oven according to the recipe and lightly grease an 11-inch x 7-inch baking dish.
Step 1: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped leeks and season with a pinch of salt. Saute until soft, for a few minutes.
Step 2: Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Stir in the mushrooms, red bell pepper, and remaining salt. Cook for several minutes until the vegetables soften.
Step 3: Add the spinach to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook until it is mostly wilted, then turn off the heat. Stir in the artichoke hearts.
Step 4: In a large bowl, whisk together the JUST Egg, soy milk, vegan yogurt, Dijon mustard, half of the vegan Parmesan, vegan Cheddar, and seasonings until thoroughly combined.
Step 5: Pour the sautéed mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Step 6: Pour the JUST Egg mixture over it. Gently combine with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining vegan Parm on top and arrange the cherry tomato halves cut side up.
Step 7: Bake until the edges are golden brown and crispy, and the JUST Egg is cooked in the middle. Let cool for 10 minutes on the counter before serving.
Hint: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil if the edges brown too much during baking.
Expert tip
Check if this vegan frittata is done by inserting a sharp knife into the center of the frittata - if it's liquid, place it back in the oven and keep checking it every five minutes until it's cooked.
Storage
Store the frittata in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
Enjoy the leftovers at room temperature or reheat until warmed through.
