Recently, my husband and I were hosting friends for a long weekend. While our friends are not vegan, I didn’t want to pass up an ideal opportunity to wow them with how easy and delicious a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle can be. I decided to let them keep their bacon and instead, I switched out their eggs. I felt going straight for the bacon might have been too aggressive : )
I settled on making frittatas because they can be tailored to each guest’s preferences. If you make individual, muffin sized eggless treats, your guests can add-in whatever they fancy – like an omelet station at a restaurant. Simply prep your muffin tins, pour in the batter, set out little bowls with options your guests can choose from, and ta-dah… bespoke eggless frittatas.
