Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. (We used convection bake cycle so if you don’t have convection heat, be sure to rotate half way through cook time.)
- Heat 8-10 in. cast iron skillet for 5 minutes over medium heat, add butter. Once butter is heated, add leeks and garlic. Sauté, stirring several times, for 5-6 minutes. Add salt and pepper and stir well.
- Add mushrooms, potato and asparagus. Sauté for about 10 minutes, until vegetables are softened. Add spinach or kale, dill or basil, and parsley and cook for additional 5 minutes, until greens are wilted.
- Meanwhile, add the tofu and beans to a blender with nutritional yeast, liquid from beans, lemon juice, dijon, salt, pepper, and 1 ½ tbsp melted vegan butter. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Pour over the vegetables in cast iron pan, add in half of the vegan parmesan and stir well. Add remaining half of vegan parmesan to top.
- Let cook on stovetop over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, until the sides start to brown. Then transfer to oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until fully cooked and golden brown around the edges.
- Toss greens lightly in olive oil, salt and lemon juice. When frittata is finished cooking, let cool for at least 5 minutes. Add greens on top right before serving, or serve on the side.
