JUst Eggs Just Scrambled

 It is tough cooking in a vegetarian and vegan household. One of the missed foods is scrambled eggs and omelets. There's a new product , Just Egg from San Francisco  that helps to eliminate those egg yearnings. It's a completely plant based egg substitute and can do the work of the real thing.

Just Egg has been on my radar for the past couple of weeks. I was happy to see that my local Acme carried it. I had to buy it, dying for a good scramble and eager to compare it to chicken eggs. It's a small bottle with only twelve fluid ounces.It's probably good for only two recipes though.

It takes one cup of the liquid made entirely from mung beans to create a scramble for two people.It's melting butter or what I used I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. Just Egg has to be poured evenly into the frying pan.

I wanted to give it a Florentine omelet vibe so I mixed in a bowl of torn baby spinach.

It does look like a spinach omelet..

The spinach was added about five minutes after the Just Egg began to cook. Now it's time for scrambling.

 

It really does look like the real thing with creamy yellow curds.Of course any egg dish deserves a good sausage patty. I bought Acme's in house brand of vegan patties.

                                       Together they made a great breakfast for dinner. The spinach scramble was pretty on point  with taste and was delicious with the patties.

Next time I 'm going to try a traditional bacon and egg breakfast for dinner using Morningstar Farm's' bacon. I plan to try the Just Egg for baking too to see how it works out.I also plan on making tasty veggie omelets and a Piedmontese family recipe of the delicious tomato and eggs.

Vegans and vegetarians should rejoice. Just Egg is a great egg substitute perfect for scrambles and omelets. Try it today for a tasty break and to help the planet.
