Method
One of my favorite things about this non-dairy frittata is just how easy it is to make. Here’s how!
Step 1: Cook the potatoes. Preheat the oven and grease a large quiche dish or large skillet. Thinly slice the potatoes and place them into a large saucepan. Top with water and strain a few times to rinse the excess starches from the potatoes.

Top with water again and place on a high heat. Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes. Place a heat proof colander in the sink and strain the potatoes (be careful!). Set aside.
Step 2: Cook the bacon. Place the frypan or skillet onto the stove and bring to a medium-high heat. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and add the diced onion and bacon to the pan.
Stir frequently until the onion is beginning to caramelise. Add the garlic to the pan and sauté until the garlic is fragrant. Turn off the heat and set aside.
Step 3: Make the egg mixture. Add the eggs, seeded mustard, sea salt, pepper and almond milk to a large bowl. Whisk to combine.
Step 4: Assemble. In the prepared quiche dish, baking dish or skillet, layer the potato slices with the bacon mixture. Pour the egg mixture over the top. Next, place the frittata into the oven and bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown on top and fully set.
Tip: If you’re using an oven safe skillet for frying the bacon, onion and garlic, you can use this pan to bake the frittata in as well! Simply transfer the bacon and onion to a seperate bowl, re-grease the pan and follow step 4 using your skillet.
Substitutions
This recipe is quite flexible and there are certainly some substitutions that can be made so that it can fit in with your dietary requirements.
- Almond Milk – swap for any other non-dairy milk such as soy, oat or rice.
- Potatoes – potatoes can be swapped for sweet potato.
Variations for Dairy Free Frittata
There are so many different ways to make frittata! Whether you would like to try some other flavor combinations or you have a specific dietary need, below are some different variations that can be made to this recipe.
- low FODMAP – make this recipe low FODMAP by using greens of leek, finely sliced, instead of garlic and onion.
- Vegetarian – omit bacon. Because bacon does add flavor and salt so I would recommend adding in extra salt and dijon if you remove bacon.
- Herb – add finely chopped fresh herbs to the egg mixture.
- Red pepper – add roasted red peppers to the quiche dish before topping with egg mixture.
Storage
Frittata can be stored, covered, in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can freeze frittata by wrapping individual slices in cling film or lunch wrap and freezing in an airtight container. Freeze for up to 6 months.
