This weekend I made two tofu frittatas. They were both easily gluten free and based on recipes that will be in Isa Chandra Moskowitz's very-upcoming Vegan Brunch cookbook. I first tested one over a year ago - the Swiss Chard. With frittatas, you don't have to worry about making or buying a crust (and feeling semi to officially ridiculous if you do buy the crust). You basically take one pound of tofu, some vegetables, spices and a few other key ingredients, mush it all together in a pie pan, and bake away. Here's a link to Isa's Sundried tomato frittata recipe from Vegan with a Vengeance. I made the first of my two tofu dishes the night before and just popped it in the oven after work the next day to take warm to a gluten free birthday potluck.
Frittata #1.
With shiitake mushrooms, tomato, rosemary, thyme, and spinach.

Frittata #2.
Again with shiitake mushrooms from last week's People's farmers market, asparagus, and dill. You can tell that this one was made with much firmer 'fu.
I brought this one to an Eat to Live themed dinner and felt like I should've had a little "VEGAN" or "TOFU" sign on it as I walked there, with it proudly in my hands.

I would love to see that NY food. And your fabulous potluck host, who sure is fun.
I always forget how much I like tofu frittatas until I see a blog post about one!
i wanna live in portland :(
love your food! i have yet to make a tofu fritatta or quiche!
I love that last picture, it invokes so many thoughts.
Mmm, you always post the best food!!
OMG! I just ordered Vegan Brunch on Amazon and I can't WAIT for it to come in. I did the free super saver shipping though, so it'll take forever! Until then, I'll have dreams about these frittatas.
your frittatas look amazing, especially the spinach one!
I was worried there wasn't another NYC food post! Now I will be looking forward to it. I'm going to NYC and Boston this summer, so your posts have been inspiring for vegan spots to hit up.
They both look great - I can't wait to get my hands on that book.
