Ok, so I'll admit my alliteration leaves something to be desired but this dish doesn't. This baked frittata stars potatoes and tofu and is the perfect showing-off-at-brunch entree or breakfast-for-dinner-again meal. Plus, this recipe comes together in a snap and spends most of its prep time in the oven, which frees you up to do, well, whatever you want!
