Description

This Easy JUST Egg Omelette is so realistic, you’ll have a hard time believing it’s vegan! Stuffed with sauteed veggies and vegan cheese, this savory breakfast is an eggy delight you can turn to when you’re craving the real thing.


Ingredients

For omelette:

  • 1/2 cup liquid JUST Egg

  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, or gluten free blend*

  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon italian seasoning, or dried dill (or use favourite blend)

  • Pinch of black salt (optional for eggy flavour) 

For filling:

  • 2 teaspoons vegan butter or oil, divided

  • Pinch of garlic salt, or one garlic clove chopped

  • 1/3 cup (total) mixed bell peppers and red onions, diced small

  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms

  • 1/2 cup baby spinach, packed

  • 1/3 cup vegan cheese, grated


Instructions

  • In a small bowl whisk together the omelette ingredients: JUST egg (shake well), flour, baking powder, seasonings and black salt. Set aside while you cook the filling

  • For filling: add 1 teaspoon vegan butter, peppers, onions, mushrooms, pinch of salt and pepper and garlic salt to a small non-stick frying pan (8 to 9 1/2 inches). Saute over medium-high heat for a few minutes. Stir in spinach until wilted. Transfer veggies from the pan to a bowl, cover and set aside while you cook the omelette. 

  • To cook the omelette: Lower heat to medium-low, to the same skillet add 1 teaspoon vegan butter, swirl the pan to coat evenly. Whisk and pour in the JUST egg mixture. As the edges start to set, run a flexible spatula around edges lifting up omelette slightly and tilting pan to let excess egg to pour underneath. Cover with a lid until the top of the omelette is almost cooked, just takes a couple of minutes. Gently and quickly flip over the omelette with a solid turner and cook for another minute or so.

  • Sprinkle half cheese on one side of the omelette followed by veggies and remainder of cheese. Fold over the omelette. Cover with lid to let cheese melt. Serve and enjoy! For step by step photos, FAQ, Tips and suggestions see above post.

Notes

  • Flour is optional but the omelette will be more delicate and harder to flip so I suggest if not using flour, to cook the omelette completely with lid and without flipping, add filling and fold over.
  • Alternate cooking method: Instead of cooking the vegan egg and filling separately, you can leave the filling in the skillet and pour the liquid JUST Egg right over top and let it cook.
  • For gluten free: use gluten free flour blend
  • I use a non-stick  9 1/2 inch pan for this recipe. If using a smaller pan like 8 inch or less the omelette will be thicker and take a little longer to cook. 
  • Alternative filling ideas: asparagus, diced tomatoes, black olives, artichokes, broccoli, diced vegan ham or sausage, tofu bacon, and more! There’s so many choices!
  • Toppings ideas: chives, green onions, cilantro, hot sauce, pico de gallo, salsa, chopped avocado or guacamole
