Vegan Omelette Recipe (2024)

FAQs

What is a vegan omelette made of? ›

These vegan omelettes are made from chickpea flour aka garbanzo bean flour. If you have never used chickpea flour before, it's pretty amazing stuff! It is high in protein and fiber and when rehydrated and cooked, it has an egg-like flavor and texture like nothing else that I've found.

Add water to your eggs instead of milk as you beat them by hand to make the eggs light and fluffy. Leave the egg slightly soft on the inside, it will finish cooking from the residual heat. Fill your omelet with sauted veggies and/or a simple gravy made from chicken broth and flour, seasoned with thyme, salt and pepper.

Both yogurt and buttermilk are good substitutes for eggs. It's best to use plain yogurt, as flavored and sweetened varieties may alter the flavor of your recipe. You can use 1/4 cup (60 g) of yogurt or buttermilk for each egg that needs to be replaced.

Flax eggs are my go-to vegan egg substitute.

Cakes, cookies, quick breads, muffins, pancakes... I've gotten them all to work with flax eggs, and I can recall very few flax egg failures. Even though I don't use chia eggs quite as often, they're pretty much interchangeable with flax eggs.

Yogurt. For this egg substitute, use 1/4 cup per egg. If you need to avoid dairy, you can use thick Greek-style plant-based yogurts. Most other non-dairy yogurts might be too thin to substitute for eggs in baking, so keep this in mind.

When eggs are cooked in a butter-coated pan, the butter serves to not only enhance their flavor but also coat the egg white proteins with fat. That fat prevents the proteins from forming those dense, linked bonds, so the eggs turn out soft, fluffy, and creamy.

Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, crack eggs into a bowl and add almond milk, salt, and pepper. Using a whisk or a hand mixer, beat as much air into the eggs as you can. Pour eggs into the skillet (do not stir) and cook until the underside is firm and the omelet slides easily.

Can I use almond milk instead of milk for eggs? ›

Milk, plant milk, or water – I whisk a little into the eggs before I cook them. This additional moisture makes the eggs extra-soft and creamy. If you use plant milk, make sure to pick one with a neutral flavor. I recommend unsweetened almond milk.

If you want a lighter (not lighter in calories) and fluffier omelette, you can add a splash of water to the eggs which will create steam as it cooks. Or if you want a richer omelette, you can add a splash of milk or cream.

Can you eat eggs if you're vegan? The bottom line is that vegans don't eat eggs due to the fact that they are animal products. This can be for a range of reasons, from health to environmental variables, but primary motivators include a concern for animal welfare.

A vegan diet is based on plants (such as vegetables, grains, nuts and fruits) and foods made from plants. Vegans do not eat foods that come from animals, including dairy products and eggs.

If you're eating it plain scrambled, it is the most egg-like and tastes as eggy as conventional eggs. So much so that if you add other ingredients, like cheese and veggies, or make a breakfast sandwich or burrito with it and serve it to your friends, they'll never know they're not eating real eggs.

They are alternatives for any eggs laid by animals. They are completely free from any animal-based ingredients. They come in a wide variety of textures, flavors, or use cases.
