‘Bacon,’ Potato, and Green Onion Frittata
Ingredients
1/4 cup Olive oil
1 Onion, finely chopped
4-5 Green onions, chopped with the green and white parts separated
4 cloves Garlic, minced
2 Medium potatoes, shredded
2 tsp. Salt, divided
1/2 tsp. Pepper, divided
2 lb. Firm tofu
2-3 tbsp. Soy sauce, to taste
4 tbsp. Nutritional yeast (optional)
2-3 tbsp. Faux bacon bits (try Bacos)
Preparation
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and the white part of the green onions and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and heat for another 30 seconds. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the potatoes, 1 tsp. of the salt, and 1/4 tsp. of the pepper. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, flipping the potatoes regularly until they are well-browned.
• Blend the remaining salt and pepper, the tofu, soy sauce, and nutritional yeast in a food processor until they are creamy. Fold in the faux bacon bits, the green part of the green onions, and the fried potatoes and pour the mixture into a large, oiled pie or tart pan. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until the center is firm.
• Allow the frittata to cool for 10 minutes then invert it onto a serving plate.
