Why make this recipe

If you miss the taste of omelettes or eggs, this recipe is for you. You may think that you can swap out the Just Egg for eggs in any omelette recipe, but I have found that it needs a few added ingredients to come out perfectly.

If you have ever used Just Egg and thought that you would just pour it into a frying pan and make an omelette, you probably learned the hard way that it’s not that easy. After many attempts and trial and error, I made a Just Egg omelette that fried up perfectly! Let me show you how I did it so that you don’t waste your time and money.

Key to success

Just Egg alone does not fry up like an omelette; it’s a little too thin and doesn’t hold together as well. After some trial and error, I discovered that 1 tablespoon of chickpea flour binds the Just Egg, making it a little thicker and more sturdy during the frying process. Some other recipes call for wheat flour, but chickpea flour has a more egg-like taste and texture. That is why I use chickpea flour in my other vegan omelette recipe.

Ingredients and substitutions

Just Egg – you can use other brands of liquid faux eggs, but I find that the Just Egg brand works the best.
Chickpea Flour – I find this to be the best thing to add structure to the omelette, but you can also use all-purpose flour or tapioca starch.
Baking Powder – Just a small amount to make the omelette rise and make it a little fluffy.
Garlic Powder – for flavor.
Oil – for frying.
Vegetables – to add to the center of the omelette. I like to use onions, peppers, mushrooms, and spinach, but you can use any vegetables that you want.

Helpful tools

A Non-Stick Frying Pan – These omelettes are very sticky and I highly recomend a non-stick pan.

How to make Just Egg Omelettes

A full printable version of this recipe with ingredient measurements is available at the bottom of this post.

Step 1 – Wash and slice any veggies that you want to use inside the omelette. (You need about 1/2 cup of veggies for each omelette.) Sauté them over medium heat in a little olive oil and a sprinkle of salt until cooked, and then set them aside. (If using spinach, add it at the end, just to allow it to wilt.)

Step 2 – Add 1/3 cup of Just egg, 1 tablespoon of chickpea flour, 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/8 teaspoon of baking powder to a pourable measuring cup and stir with a whisk or a fork until you have a smooth batter.

Step 3 – Heat your frying pan over medium heat until warm. Add enough light olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan and pour the mixture into a large circle. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 1 minute.

Step 4 – Add 1/4 cup of vegan cheese and 1/2 cup of sautéed veggies to 1/2 of the omelette and cover again for an additional 1-2 minutes until the omelette is solid and no longer appears wet and shiny.

Step 5 – Fold the side with no veggies over the side with veggies, then remove it from the pan and serve.

Pro Tips

Use a non-stick frying pan or a well-seasoned iron skillet with a generous amount of oil. Just Egg is very sticky even with a well-oiled pan.
Be sure to cover the omelette while it’s cooking so it cooks through without having to flip it. I place the sautéed veggies inside and fold the omelette over to avoid breaking it by flipping it too many times.

Storage
