Just Egg Omelet
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ½ cup Just Egg
- 1 tablespoon flour (regular or all-purpose)
- ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ cup veggies (chopped onion, chopped bell peppers, mushrooms, etc)
- 1 cup baby spinach
- ¼ cup vegan cheddar shreds
Instructions
- Whisk together the Just Egg, flour, and baking powder. Set aside.
- Heat half of the olive oil in a small skillet (6 to 8 inches) over medium-high heat. Add vegetables and cook until slightly softened, around 3 minutes. Some veggies may take longer to cook, like broccoli.
- Add spinach and cook for a minute more, until the spinach begins to wilt slightly. Transfer cooked vegetables to plate.
- Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet and cook until shimmering. Pour the Just Egg mixture into the pan. Use a spatula to help guide the mixture to cover the bottom of the pan.
- As the omelette begins to cook, the edges will start to turn golden. Use your spatula to run around the edge of the omelette to prevent it from sticking to the pan. Let it cook for up to 5 minutes until it solidifies. Use a spatula to flip the omelette.
- Add the cooked veggies evenly over one side of the omelette. Top with vegan cheddar shreds. Use the spatula to fold one half of the cooked omelette over the other side. Then cook for another minute or so until the cheese has melted.
- Let the omelet sit for a few minutes to cool slightly before serving.
