The Vegg (Vegan Egg Yolk)

The Vegg Vegan Egg Yolk is a 100% plant-based egg yolk replacement used to make vegan omelets and a variety of other vegan foods that are usually made with eggs. I've been interested in trying it, for a while,  and recently came across a good deal on VeganCuts, The Vegg Combo Pack, which consisted of a can of The Vegg Vegan Egg Yolk and The Vegg cookbook.

I wanted to see what it was like, without a bunch of extra stuff to hide the taste, so I decided to try a basic omelette. When I first opened the can, I noticed the texture was almost exactly like nutritional yeast - which makes sense, because that's the base of it - and it did have a distinct egg smell, which comes from the black salt. I have a jar of Kala Namak (black salt), that I've been using it my tofu scrambles, to give it an "eggier" taste so I knew that's where the smell came from.

The only omelet recipe I found involved tofu, so I decided to use the crepe recipe instead. Cutting the crepe recipe in half, I made an omelette. It's basically The Vegg powder, flour, soy milk and butter. Now, I don't know if the batter was suppose to be thick but, when I did it, it was very thick so next time I'm going to use more water or soy to thin it out a bit more.

It definitely looked like an omelet, but it wasn't as eggy as I would have liked but I can see how it would probably taste really good mixed with some peppers, onions, garlic, spinach and maybe a little extra black salt - which I think that I'm going to try to make, tonight, for dinner.

Overall, I was happy with the results. There are plenty of recipes, on the website, so I'll definitely be checking those out.
