About the Recipe
Omelettes are hard. There’s nothing quite like the satisfaction of getting perfect flip in the pan. However, sometimes you’re just not willing to take the risk, so you make a frittata instead, the answer to which means you just throw the stuff in a pan in the oven and you basically have a hands free omelette. An omelette pizza, if you will.
JUST egg has thoroughly revolutionized plant based eating and it’s so exciting to have such a versatile ingredient come to the vegan scene. If you're reallllly pressed for time, they also make pre-made omelette folds, which are linked in the notes below.
Let this recipe be your magic solution to the omelette scaries. Use whatever veggies you have on hand like mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, spinach, basil, parsley, peppers - possibilities are endless here. Or go the less traditional route and try fennel, carrots, zucchini, artichoke, leeks, sage - you get the idea.
If you elect to use vegan cheeze, add it in before baking or crumble on top. Nutritional yeast would be great here too.
An effortless brunch awaits, enjoy! No luck needed.
