Ultimate Vegan Just Egg Scramble
This vegan scramble uses JUST Egg—a plant-based egg substitute—cooked with sautéed red onions, bell peppers, jalapeños, vegan cheese, and fresh spinach for a savory, fluffy dish. The scramble mimics traditional eggs in texture and can be enhanced with kala namak salt for an egg-like flavor, making it suitable for vegan breakfasts or brunches.
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.
