Just Egg Omelette

This Just Egg Omelette is ready in 10 minutes and stuffed with veggies. It’s a high-protein breakfast that’s easy enough to make on a weekday!

I first had Just Eggs when I was in a vegan restaurant. I ordered jackfruit tostadas that came with scrambled “eggs.” I was curious what these “eggs” would be like, and to my surprise, they were so good, and tasted just like real eggs!

Then I saw the product in Whole Foods, and ever since then, it’s been on my weekly grocery list. I’ve made everything from French Toast to quiche with this product!

Since I’ve been making this omelette for quite some time, I thought I should share it with all of you! There are some tips and tricks I’ve learned after making this omelette countless times so that it comes out light, fluffy, and nicely browned on the outside.

It’s not like making an omelette with real eggs, so be sure to follow my tips so that it comes out perfect every time!

❓What Is Just Egg Made Of?

Just Egg is made primarily of Mung Beans. Mung beans are a legume that are high in protein and antioxidants. It is completely plant-based! However, it should be noted that this is a processed vegan product. It has ingredients such as canola oil, seasonings, and stabilizers. It is cholesterol-free and non-GMO. It has an egg-like taste, and texture, without any actual eggs!

🍳 Ingredients and Substitutions

Just Egg: A plant-based egg substitute that has the consistency and flavor of real eggs. You can find it at Whole Foods, and other health food stores! If you don’t want to use Just Eggs, try making my silken tofu scramble instead!

All-Purpose Flour and Baking Powder: Adding the flour and baking powder helps the omelette to bake up nice and fluffy. For a gluten-free version, simply substitute all-purpose flour for gluten-free flour.

Filling: Add any vegetable filling you like. I added leaf spinach, chopped tomato, and vegan mozzarella!

Additional Seasoning: If you have Kala namaak, add a ¼ teaspoon to the omelette mix. Kala namak, also known as black salt gives the omelette an even more eggy flavor.

📋 Just Egg Omelette Instructions

Step 1: Pour the Just Eggs into a small bowl. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until completely combined.

Step 2: Over low to medium heat, add a teaspoon of olive oil to an 8-inch pan. Coat the pan with oil. Add the eggs. Allow the eggs to slowly heat. Don’t push them around with your spatula. Cover with a lid. Allow it to cook for about 3-5 minutes or until the edges start to pull away from the pan and the eggs become fluffy and firm up in the center.

Step 3: Add the vegan mozzarella, chopped tomatoes, and leaf spinach.

Step 4: Using a rubber spatula, carefully run it along the edge of the pan. Flip one half over the other.

Step 5: Top with fresh herbs, and serve with a side of fresh vegetables.

💭 Expert Tips

• Be sure to shake the bottle well before pouring.
• Use an 8-9 inch sauté pan, no bigger, or else the egg mixture will spread out too much and become too thin.
• Use a non-stick pan.
• Use the flour and baking powder for a fluffier omelette.
• Add additional seasoning such as garlic powder, onion powder, or cayenne pepper if you like your eggs spicy!
• The key to the perfect omelette is to cook it low and slow!
• Don’t touch the omelette while it’s cooking. When it’s ready it will start to pull away from the pan.
• You’ll know it’s time to add the filling when the center becomes solid, and fluffs.
