Vegan Portuguese Frittata with Portuguese Sausage & Swiss Cheese

Vegan Portuguese Frittata with Portuguese Sausage & Swiss Cheese

Ingredients:
  • 1 Large Head Garlic
  • 2 Lbs Russet or Gold Potatoes (sliced thinly)
  • 6 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 12 Tablespoons Follow Your Heart's VeganEgg
  • 3 ¾ Cup Ice Water
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 Bunch Green Onions (white and green parts slices thinly)
  • 13 oz. Vegan Portuguese Sausage (crumbled)
  • 5 oz. Vegan Swiss Cheese (crumbled)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400º F. Cut off the top ½ inch of the whole head of garlic leaving a cross section that cuts into each clove. Cover garlic in 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and wrap in aluminum foil. Bake for 30 minutes.

In the meantime, thinly slice 2 lbs of potatoes. Working in a large (9”+) cast iron skillet or if you wish to bake frittata in a baking dish, a separate sauté pan sauté potatoes in olive oil. Working in batches and stirring often over medium-high heat potatoes until thoroughly browned, around 15 minutes per batch. 

While potatoes are sautéing, measure VeganEgg in a large mixing bowl. Vigorously whisk in ice water and season with salt and pepper. Thinly slice green onions and crumble vegan cheese and sausage. Once garlic is light brown, translucent and fragrant, squeeze out garlic flesh into a small bowl and mash. Add garlic to VeganEgg mixture. 

Once potatoes are dark brown and tender, spread the potatoes out evenly in the cast iron skillet or another baking dish if desired. Gently press the potatoes around the bottom and edges of the pan to make a crust. Add the sausage, and cheese on top of the potatoes. Pour the egg mixture into the pan on top of the potatoes and sausage. Finish by topping the egg mixture with thinly sliced green onion. Bake, uncovered for 45 minutes until egg is set in the center.

Allow to cool slightly before cutting a serving. 

Serves 4-6 people.
