Easy Vegan Omelette

This vegan omelette is so delicious you won't even know it doesn't use eggs! Packed with flavor using veggies and your favorite dairy free cheese.

A healthy twist on the classic breakfast dish that is super easy and full of healthy ingredients! This recipe also has more than one option for the egg replacement.

Ingredients

When I created my vegan egg recipes, I easily turned them into a veggie scrambled egg recipe. So the next natural step was making them into an omelette! (And if you don't feel like perfecting an omelette, try making a vegan scramble instead!)

In order to make this gluten-free and vegan omelette you will need to gather the following items:

• Vegan egg - this link has recipes for chickpea flour eggs, tofu scramble eggs, and store bought vegan egg that you can use for the omelette. They all create a wonderful eggy texture.
  • Depending on what vegan egg batter you choose to use, you may want to whisk in some salt and black pepper, or even garlic powder while scrambling.
• Fillings - use a mix of veggies, dairy-free cheese, and protein to add extra flavor. See below for suggestions.  

How to Make an Omelette With Veggies

The simple steps to take to create the perfect eggless omelette are:

1. Sauté the veggies.
2. Pour in the vegan egg batter, allow it to firm up then flip. Add the veggies, cheese, and protein.
3. Slide onto a plate, fold it over, and serve!

Preparation Tips

Here are a few ways you can achieve the perfect vegan omelette:

• Depending on the egg you are using you may not need any additional salt and pepper.
• When sautéing add the greens last since they don't take as long to cook.
• Some vegetables release moisture when they are cooked. Make sure to sauté them until the moisture is gone, or simply drain it from the pan.
• Dairy free cheese takes longer to melt, so once the veggies are cooked mix in the cheese to allow it to start to melt while you are making the eggs.
• If you haven't mastered flipping the egg yet, you can slide it onto a plate then return it to the pan upside down.
• Prep ahead by cooking up your veggies. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When you're ready to make the omelet just reheat them in the pan real quick then follow the rest of the directions.
