It’s hard to believe this JUST Egg Omelette is made without any eggs at all! Fluffy, filling, and just so delicious, you may have to remind yourself that you aren’t eating real eggs as you dig into this recipe.
JUST Egg is a company that really makes you feel good about where the future of plant based ready-made foods is heading. Just like liquid eggs, this vegan egg mixture is simply poured into a hot pan with a few extra add-ins and quickly turns into a fluffy vegan omelette. It’s one of the most innovative vegan products on the market and I think you’re really going to love it!
If you can’t find JUST Egg where you live, you will love my Vegan Omelette made with simple pantry ingredients.
I made this easy eggless omelette with simple fillings like spinach, broccoli, and vegan cheese. You can fill the inside with almost anything you love and drizzle on a few fun toppings when it’s done, like herbs, hot sauce, and even vegan cheese sauce. Make the meal extra special with breakfast potatoes and fresh fruit on the side, then enjoy!
What is JUST Egg made of?
JUST Egg is a liquid vegan egg mixture made from two key ingredients: mung beans and turmeric. There are a handful of other ingredients in the mixture to help the cooked “eggs” taste realistic, hold together, and preserve the quality.
How to make a vegan omelette with JUST Egg
Melt vegan butter in a small pan and saute the veggies until they’re soft. Set them aside and turn the heat down.
Whisk the JUST Egg with the flour, baking powder, and black salt in a bowl. The flour/baking powder helps the omelette cook up fluffy and the black salt will help it taste even more realistic!
Pour the vegan egg mixture into the hot pan. Cover with a lid and let it cook until it’s no longer liquidy on top. Add the cooked veggies and shredded cheese on one side of the omelette, then fold the other side over top. Let it cook for a few more minutes or until the cheese melts.
Serve the omelette immediately with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
What does a JUST Egg omelette taste like?
The taste, smell, and texture of JUST Egg is almost identical to real eggs. Mixing the “egg” liquid with some black salt (Kala Namak) really takes the flavor up a notch and gives the omelette a true “eggy” taste.
Tips and substitutions
- Flour and baking powder – This is the secret to an extra fluffy eggless omelette! Try not to skip them.
- Make sure your pan isn’t too hot. If you don’t lower the temperature before adding the “egg” mixture, the bottom of the omelette can burn and it won’t cook well.
- Gluten free – Use your favorite gluten free flour instead of the all purpose flour.
- Equipment – I recommend cooking your vegan egg omelette in a quality non-stick pan no larger than 6 to 8 inches. If it’s too wide, the “egg” mixture will spread and be too thin.
Filling and topping ideas
An eggless omelette is only as good as its fillings. With veggies, vegan meats, and cheeses on the inside and a fresh garnish on top, every bite will be heavenly. Use these ideas to get started:
- Tofu bacon
- Kale
- Mushrooms
- Tempeh bacon
- Red pepper
- Shallots
- Vegan shredded mozzarella
- Avocado
- Jalapenos
- Vegan nacho cheese sauce
- Salsa
- Hot sauce
- Arugula
- Tomatoes
- Black beans
- Cilantro
- Ketchup

JUST Egg Omelette
Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1 teaspoon vegan butter
- 1/2 cup chopped small broccoli
- 1 cup baby spinach
Omelette
- 1/2 cup liquid JUST Egg
- 1 tablespoon all purpose flour or gluten free flour
- 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon black salt
- 1 teaspoon vegan butter
Optional fillings/toppings
- 1/4 cup shredded vegan cheese
- hot sauce, sliced avocado, chopped green onions, cherry tomatoes, fresh herbs
Instructions
- In a small pan (8 inch is best), melt a teaspoon of vegan butter over medium-high heat. Sauté the chopped veggies and spinach until softened a bit, and season with a little salt + pepper, to taste. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate nearby. Turn the heat down to medium-low.
- In a small bowl, quickly whisk the Just Egg with the flour, baking powder and black salt until combined.
- Melt the second teaspoon of vegan butter in the pan, then pour in your "egg" mixture. Tilt the pan a little if needed to encourage it to spread into an even circle.
- Cover the pan and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes, until it looks mostly cooked and no longer liquidity on top. Make sure your pan isn't too hot or it won't cook well and the bottom will burn. If it takes a little longer, that's okay.
- Once the top looks done, add your sautéed veggies and shredded cheese, if using, to one side of the omelette. Now fold over one side to cover your fillings, cover and let cook for another few minutes until the cheese it melty.
- Serve immediately with extra toppings of choice. I like Sriracha hot sauce, black pepper, chopped green onions and a few slices of avocado.
Notes
- You don’t have to use broccoli and spinach, feel free to use whatever veggies you like such as kale, mushrooms, zucchini, asparagus or no veggies at all.
- You may use vegetable oil instead of vegan butter, if desired.
Tried this today Mine looked like a sloppy mess but really delicious
I love all your recipes. Thanks you for sharing
I agree. Just egg is a tasty egg sub option. I use it for a variety of dishes.
Thank you for sharing your review and feedback!
This was delicious! What a wonderful addition to vegan breakfast.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful review and feedback! I’m glad you loved the omelette!
Holy smokes this was SO good. Definitely one of the tastiest things that I have eaten recently. Eggs are the main thing I’ve missed/craved since being vegan and this absolutely satisfies that! Adding the flour, baking soda, and kala namak take Just Egg from being pretty good to being amazing. Thanks for the great recipe!
I’m so glad you love the recipe! It’s definitely fun enjoying an omelette! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review and feedback!
Amazing!! I can’t believe I can enjoy omelettes again in a vegan world. These are scrumptious. This is better than a real omelette honestly
Thank you for this recipe!!! Just wonderful! I was missing omelettes, and this recipe is just perfect. Made the absolute best omelette. Used spinach and vegan cheese as the filling. For some of the other reviewers, I used the entire bottle (I was facing an imminent expiration date). I used 2 heaping Tbs of flour and heaping 1/4 tsp of baking powder. Cooked in a 12 inch nonstick skillet. The omelette did not break when folding over the fillings. And the whole omelette came out of the pan intact very easily. I cut it into portions and served. Delicious! Maybe the best omelette ever. Now, if more of my local stores would just start carrying the product….
I’m so glad you enjoyed the omelette. This is my favorite breakfast lately!
EGGcellent receipe. I am just in love with this, light and fluffy
LOL..love your comment! I’m so glad you love the omelette! Thank you for sharing your fantastic review!
Best recipe for Just eggs. Thank you.
WOW. Absolutely fantastic. Debatably better than a real egg omelette. I followed measurements exactly (half cup of JUST egg, 1 tbsp of flour (I used Bob’s mill 1 to 1 GF flour and 1/8 tsp baking powder) and holy moly what a fluffy omelette! Looked like a fluffy three egg omelette at a five star restaurant. If someone is conscious about wanting to use less of the bottle maybe use a 1/3 cup of the JUST egg and convert ratios of other ingredients accordingly. Wish I could post a picture of it. For the black pepper, I recommend sprinkling black pepper and salt to taste directly after it’s already on pan so that’s the only thing I changed. Agree to do veggies and what’re you want to put in it first before making the egg (except vegan cheese I sprinkled while it was cooking). JUST egg should pay you to put this recipe on their website. I can finally enjoy omelettes again as an egg intolerant person. Cheers!
So much better than the recipe at the JustEgg website! I wonder if the flour is the secret ingredient, as my other attempts using just JustEgg yielded a “curdled” result. The little bottle of JustEgg is very expensive (IMHO) so I use half a bottle with your recipe (I use a “pregnant” Tbsp of flour). By the time I’ve added the other “stuff” it was enough for a large serving for two. My husband loved it too! I used onion, sausage (cooked, skinned and sliced), tomato and cheese. I couldn’t get it out of the pan as an omelette, but scrambled was absolutely perfect! This is definitely a keeper for a weekend breakfast treat! Thanks for this recipe and many other recipes from your website that I use. I always look forward to your emails! Your recipes make being a vegan a joy.
Thank you for you wonderful review and comments! I am so glad you guys loved the just egg omelette! You omelette additions sound delicious! I am so glad you you are enjoying my recipes! I wish you lots of happy cooking!
This is probably a stupid question, but do you think these would last a day or two in the fridge if I made a few of them ahead of time? Thank you!!
Yes, I think up to two days would work.
Been waiting for years to try Just Egg and this recipe made it absolutely delicious! Had to make another omelet right away!! Thank you for this recipe (and your others as well)!
I’m so glad you loved the omelette! It’s fun and delicious to add different veggies and toppings! Thank you for sharing your great review and comments, and thank you for using my recipes!
I tried this and it’s so much better than using JUST directly! Didn’t use accurate measurements, I instead of 1/2 cup I used roughly 1/2 bottle, I think I got a thicker omelette out of that.
But I might skip on the black salt next time, I might have added a bit too much and there was a strange aftertaste in my mouth after eating.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful review and comments! I’m really glad that you loved the omelette!
Thank you for this! I’ve been putting off trying Just Egg for a long time. This recipe was so easy and it turned out perfect! I can eat omelettes again ?!
You are welcome! I’m glad you loved the ease and taste of the recipe! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review and comments! Enjoy all the future omelettes to come!
Hi, just wondering if using a carb conscious flour would work here (almond flour, coconut flour, etc)?
I haven’t tried using either of those so I’m not sure, but they might work.
The perfect vegan omelette! Thank you for this recipe Nora. Hubby and I loved it! ♡
Hi! I’m so glad you guys loved the omelette! Thank you for sharing your review and comments!
One of the difficulties with these new vegan ingredients is learning how to use them properly… Thank you for helping us out with that! I loved this recipe! I was wondering if you could develop a recipe for the standard 355 ml bottle of Just Egg? It’s a shame to measure out 1/2 cup (even 1 cup in our case, because we’re a family of 2) and then leave an uneven amount leftover. This was my first time so I didn’t want to mess with the recipe, but perhaps with a bigger pan and enough egg mixture for two larger omelettes?
I just use the rest for scrambled “eggs” another day. 🙂 Sometimes I even cook up little rounds and freeze them for another day, if it’s going to be wasted otherwise.
Best vegan omelet ! Your recipes are always on point:)
Thanks for your great review, Billie Jean! I’m glad you loved the omelette! Thank you for using my recipes!
Thanks For Sharing this Amazing Recipe. My Family Loved It. I will be sharing this Recipe with my Friends. Hope They will like it.
You are welcome! I’m glad you and your family enjoyed the recipe! Thanks for sharing your wonderful review and comments!
WOW!!! Thank you for this amazing recipe. It was absolutely delicious and truly the best way I’ve ever cooked with JUST. I see omelette Sunday becoming a regular thing around here. ?
Hi Kim! I’m thrilled you loved the omelette! Omelette Sunday sounds wonderful! I appreciate you taking your time to share your wonderful review and comments!
My local health food store won’t sell Just Eggs because of something to do with the packaging being very planet UNfriendly. I bought one elsewhere. Unfortunately, it expires quickly and for the two of us, was just too large of a container. I wasn’t impressed with the flavor either.
Brilliant Nora! I added flour and baking powder to the Just egg as you directed and it made the perfect omelette. Thank you!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, thank you so much!
I like using Just Egg except it always burns in the pan, regardless of the temp. Does the flour in this recipe help with that?
Yes, it makes it more sturdy and fluffy. But you do need a good non-stick pan, same as real eggs! Or you will have annoying sticking.
Just egg. What is it exactly? Ķunda s.d.
It’s a plant based product that mimics eggs, it’s pretty popular and getting easier to find all the time.
Sounds delicious. The only black salt I’ve found was in an Indian grocery store and in a big, huge bag that I knew I couldn’t use up. Maybe as it gets more popular they’ll market it in smaller portions.
I get it in a little spice jar online. A little lasts a very long time!
