Vegan Eggs Asparagus Omelette

This easy flavorful and customizable Vegan Eggs recipe will have your plant-based breakfast life complete.

Vegan eggs – that sounds like a whole lot of witch-craftery.

Sure, I can handle making a flax or chia egg and adding it to a batter for baked goods. I understand that there are a number of different egg-type replacements like that – bananas, applesauce, and even the water left over from a can of chickpeas (aka the glorious aquafaba).

But to actually create something that comes out in the form of a freakin omelette?! Now that’s just bazaar.

You wanna know what’s even more bazaar about this crazy vegan egg situation?

The flavor. The absolute deliciousness of the flavor. Pair with a side of healthy hash browns and you’ve got the perfect breakfast.

I’m not gonna lie. I miss a good scrambled egg so hard.

Before choosing to transition to a plant-based lifestyle, scrambled eggs or omelettes were my go-to. I never made omelettes at home (mostly because I was terrible at them and they always just turned into scrambled eggs), but every time we went out for breakfast, I had to order an omelette loaded with all the veggies possible.

And before learning the magic of vegan eggs, I’ve just missed the ease of making scrambled eggs real quick. Whether it was to serve along with Sunday pancakes or even a quick weeknight dinner, eggs were a staple for me.

In fact, scrambled eggs were the first thing I really learned how to make as a kid… and also the first thing I taught my son how to make on the stove.

So to let go of the scrambled eggs… that was a big deal for me.

(Of course, this was all before I mastered my Vegan Scrambled Eggs Recipe!)

So when I ended up with my friend Jackie’s new book Vegan Yack Attack On the Go and saw there was a vegan eggs recipe in it, I about flipped my shit…

and immediately ran to the store to pick up ingredients to make it all happen.

I was beyond excited. I couldn’t contain myself. 

Well, and not only the vegan omelette situation, but all these other yums in her book that I was drooling over:

• Beastly Cauliflower Breakfast Burrito (this thing is massive!!)
• Teriyaki Mushroom Jerky (say whaaaaa?)
• Spinach Ricotta Stuffed Shells
• and a “Chicken” and Waffles recipe that looks to.die.for!

All the recipes in the book are geared toward us busy folk just trying to eat a healthier and more planted-based diet. There’s not one recipe I don’t want to try in the book. Go grab yourself a copy for all the recipes – you will not be sorry.

So let’s talk a little bit about the recipe itself. 

What is in vegan eggs?

The ingredients here are actually pretty minimal. There may be a couple that are new to you, but let’s break them down a bit.

So for the egg part of this recipe, you have:

• Chickpea flour
• Nutritional yeast (aka nooch)
• Cornstarch
• Salt
• Pepper
• Vegetable broth

Mostly simple stuff right? For the most part yes.

Chickpea flour was new to me in this recipe. But it’s literally just dried garbanzo beans (chickpeas), stone-ground into a flour. It’s high in protein, iron, and fiber – making it a pretty healthy option.

I’m able to pick mine up from the local Kroger store, but it may not be as readily available to you. I found it here on Amazon as well.

And what about this nutritional yeast. It’s such a weird one, but a total staple in any vegan’s life really because of the added “cheesy” or “nutty” flavor it gives off. But what is it exactly? This article from FatFreeVegan explains what it is way better than I could. I’m always sure to buy a nooch that includes B12, as that’s one vitamin you’re unable to get from plants.

Why can’t I just buy a manufactured vegan egg replacer?

So there are a couple powdered products that you just mix with water that could potentially results in a similarly yummy omelette situation. And you know what – you be my guest. I’m all for you making your own choices. But I’m gonna tell you why I’m not into those products. 

“Whole Algal Flour, Whole Algal Protein, Modified Cellulose, Cellulose, Gellan Gum, Calcium Lactate (Plant Source), Carrageenan, Nutritional Yeast, Black Salt”

These are the ingredients in one of them. I don’t even know what many of those ingredients are. And the carrageenan… yeah that’s a nope for me.

And this is why I’ll be making my own vegan eggs from here on out… Thank goodness they’re so freakin’ easy!

Jackie even suggests dividing the egg batter out into ziploc bags or jars to take camping with you! How brilliant is this?! 

But what do Vegan Eggs taste like??

You know? They taste a bit eggy! No really.

• buttery
• delicately rich
• the right amount of saltiness

dare I say I like these vegan eggs better than actual eggs???

And the texture is fluffy and tender just like you’d expect from an omelette.

Then of course the additions are really up to you. In this omelette, I loved using the asparagus, spinach, and shallots Jackie used in her recipe, but I’d imagine the possibilities are endless. 

What did you enjoy in your non-vegan omelettes before plant-life happened?

I’m thinking mushrooms, peppers, spinach, beans, tomatoes… all.the.things!!
