If you're looking for an easy vegan breakfast recipe that's on the table in 10 minutes, this Just Egg omelette is it.
Just Egg is a such a fantastic egg replacer. I've used it to make Just Egg Quiche and Just Egg French toast, and it never lets me down. If you've never tried it, read on for more info on the newest kid on the vegan block.
🙋What Is Just Egg Made Of?
Just Egg is a pourable egg substitute that has the following ingredients listed on it's label:
Ingredients: Water, Mung Bean Protein Isolate, Expeller-Pressed Canola Oil, Contains less than 2% of Calcium Citrate, Enzyme, Gellan Gum, Natural Carrot Extractives (color), Natural Flavors, Natural Turmeric Extractives (color), Onion Puree, Salt, Soy Lecithin, Sugar, Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate, Preservatives (Nisin, Potassium Sorbate).
You'd be forgiven for believing that a plant based egg substitute isn't high in protein. In fact, a regular egg has 6 grams of protein, and Just Egg has 5 grams, so they're really quite similar. So, dig into your into your Just Egg omelette knowing that your protein needs are being met.
👨🍳How To Make A Just Egg Omelette
- Preheat your oven to 375° F (190° C). Line a small baking tray with parchment paper.
- Cut your cherry tomatoes in half and spread them out on a baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 8 minutes. We're aiming for soft and sweet cherry tomatoes, but not entirely collapsed.
Mix The Just Egg Omelette Ingredients
- Using a fork or a whisk mix the Just Egg with the flour and baking soda. Adding flour and baking soda will give your omelette that extra fluffy factor, so don't skip this step!
Cook The Just Egg Omelette
- Choose a non-stick pan that is 6-8 inches in diameter. If you're using a large saute pan, you'll need to add a bit more Just Egg to the mixture.
- Melt your vegan butter in the pan, tilting the pan to ensure that it's totally coated in butter.
- Lower the heat to its lowest setting and pour the Just Egg mixture into the pan. Wait until the edges of the omelette begin to solidify. Be patient, if you flip the omelette too soon it will crack.
- As soon as the edges begin to solidify, flip the omelette over with a spatula and allow the other side to cook for two minutes.
Add The Omelette Fillings
- Add the roasted cherry tomatoes and avocado to half of the omelette. Flip the other side over.
- Gently transfer your Just Egg omelette to a plate. Enjoy with my air fryer breakfast potatoes for the ultimate vegan breakfast!
Top Tip
Make sure that your pan is heated properly before pouring in the Just Egg mixture. Heating the pan over very low heat is essential to prevent the omelette from cooking too quickly and becoming rubbery.
💡Variations
- Southwest Style Omelette: Instead of roasted cherry tomatoes, use roasted diced bell peppers and onions as the filling. Add a sprinkle of chili powder or cumin before roasting the veggies. Top with vegan sour cream, salsa, and sliced jalapeños before serving.
- Mediterranean Omelette: Use sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and kalamata olives as the filling. Mix chopped fresh basil and oregano into the Just Egg mixture. Serve with a dollop of vegan tzatziki sauce and a side of toasted pita bread.
- Italian Style Omelette: Fill the omelette with sautéed mushrooms, spinach, and vegan mozzarella cheese. Add garlic powder and Italian seasoning to the Just Egg mixture. Top with marinara sauce and fresh basil before folding.
- Green Goddess Omelette: Fill the Just Egg omelette with sautéed kale, broccoli florets, and diced zucchini. Drizzle with a homemade vegan pesto sauce or avocado cream sauce.
