the best no-stick Vegan Omelettes (EVER)

Everyone has something that they hate to give up when going vegan or plant-based. Most say “cheese”. For me, it was eggs. On our first trip to Jamaica when I’d stopped eating dairy and eggs, I caved. I found myself at the omelette bar ordering a mushroom omelette. Why couldn’t we have a decent substitute for eggs?

Well, we can.

You can create your own egg-y mixture for omelettes using tofu, dried lentils or chickpea flour. These are great, but not quite it. Meet Just Egg®. This is not an ad btw. Most grocery stores will stock it in its frozen patty or liquid form. If you’re after ethics without sacrificing taste, texture and flavour, then this is for you. Grab a bottle of the liquid form for this recipe and if you’re an on-the-go type, then grab the frozen patties and toast them! Yes, put them in your toaster.

Ingredients & Directions

Estimated time: 30 minutes

Effort/skill: Easy

Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 4 rice wraps

• 1/4 cup water

• 1 bottle of Just Egg ®

• 1 tbsp avocado oil (optional: if you’re not using a non-stick pan)

• 4 sprigs green onions

• 1 red bell pepper

• 1 tomato diced

• 1/2 cup vegan shredded cheese

• 1 tbsp Italian seasoning

• 2 tbsp chili crisp

• 1 small tomato sliced

• basil leaves

• salt & pepper to taste

Directions

1. In a medium-sized bowl, add the Just Egg®, Italian seasoning, chopped pepper, diced tomato, green onion.

2. Warm your non-stick pan over medium-high heat. If you’re not using a non-stick pan, adding a bit of the oil will be helpful and lower the heat and skip the water step next.

3. Add a small amount of water to the pan so it steams and barely wets the pan.

4. Add the first rice wrap and you’ll need to hold the sides down with a spatula so it doesn’t curl or fly away. If you’re using oil, low low heat here.

5. Next, add the Just Egg ® mixture to the rice wrap. As you notice it starting to cook, fold in half.

6. Add the cheese to the top of the cooking omelette and trust me on this one, add a lid. “Sweltering” that vegan cheese is the guaranteed way to get it melting.

7. Once the omelette is cooked, remove and garnish with chili crisp, sliced tomato and basil.

8. Add salt & pepper to taste or whip up a vegan hollandaise sauce. Repeat this 3 more times for 4 omelettes.
