Ultimate Vegan Just Egg Scramble
Description
The Ultimate Vegan Just Egg Scramble starts with sautéing chopped red onions and bell peppers until slightly softened, adding a mild sweetness and crunch. OPTIONAL jalapeño provides a subtle heat contrast. JUST Egg liquid is poured in and cooked over medium-low heat, stirred gently to form curds similar to scrambled eggs.
When nearly set, vegan cheese and chopped baby spinach are mixed in and cooked briefly until the cheese melts and spinach wilts, contributing creaminess and nutrition. Seasoning with salt and pepper finishes the dish, with optional kala namak to add a distinctive sulfurous flavor akin to eggs.
The scramble is served hot and can be customized with additions like vegan bacon, hot sauce, or extra cheese. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for several days and reheat smoothly. This recipe offers a plant-based alternative that maintains familiar textures and flavors for egg lovers following a vegan diet.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup JUST egg half of a standard 12 oz. bottle, liquid
- ½ small red onion chopped
- ½ medium red bell pepper seeded and chopped
- ½ small jalapeño seeded and chopped, optional
- ⅓ cup vegan cheese such as mozzarella, cheddar, or smoked provolone, shredded
- 2 handfuls baby spinach fresh, chopped
- pinch of salt for extra eggy flavor use a pinch of kala namak (black salt); see Notes
- pinch of black pepper for extra eggy flavor use a pinch of kala namak (black salt); see Notes
Instructions
- Preheat a heavy-bottomed, non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the onion and peppers for 4 to 5 minutes or until slightly softened.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour the Just Egg into the pan, and let stand for a few seconds. Using a silicone spatula, begin to scrape the egg away from the edges of the pan toward the center, similar to scrambling chicken eggs.
- When the JUST Egg is almost fully set and curdled, add the cheese and chopped baby spinach. Toss and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the spinach is wilted and cheese melted. Season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
- Add a small pinch of kala namak (black salt) just before serving for authentic egg-like flavor.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; reheat gently on the stove or microwave.
- Enhance with vegan meat additions like bacon bits or seasoned tempeh for extra protein.
- For more heat, include extra jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce.
- Mix different types of vegan cheese to vary flavor and texture.
