Vegan Brekky-Omelette, Mushrooms and Spinach

by 49 Comments

Quitting eggs were very hard for me. French toast, poached eggs, I miss them all. Thinking about egg farming makes me sick sometimes. Till today. Watched Earthlings before three and half years and every scene is still etched in my memory. I think poultry farming scenes were the ones that affected me the most. I will stop my vegan preaching here. Moral of the story: I was craving for omelette. To me, Chickpea crepes are vegan omelette. Yum 🙂 Healthy and you can whisk them up in seconds.

  1. Wow, that’s a great idea! I love eggs, and that’s one of the main reasons I haven’t become vegan. It’s too tough for me to try now, but I will in a couple years.
    But I will be trying these very soon! 🙂

    • I have been a lacto-ovo vegetarian all my life (Gosh! I sound old). Yeah I’m sure you’ll get there someday.

      Please do-Let me know if you like them. I have been having these for the last 2 years-I forgot the taste of eggs 😛

      Good luck

  2. This is such a good idea! I have been trying to restrict my intake of animal products where possible since reading Eating Animals. I have just mastered ‘chia eggs’ in my baked goods, so I’m excited to try this and master egg-free omelettes!

    • Awww. Thanks 🙂 We are brought up in a way where eggs are protein, they are healthy blah blah blah. But when you really wake up, it’s not true at all. Thanks for passing by 🙂

  12. I’m not a vegan, but I have a milk and egg allergy. These Brekky-Omelette’s look scrumptious. I’ve honestly never thought about trying to make my own omelette though. I must admit, the tempting part here is the mushrooms and spinach. Yum!

  13. Oh my, your photos of the brekky omelet are killing me!!! I am an egg freak and often eat them for dinner, even sometimes adding rice flour . . . . but have never tried chickpea flour. Looks positively delicious!

  20. Oh wow, what a delicious and smart recipe! Love all the ingredients you used! Since I embarked on the eating healthier journey and using more “Superfoods” in my cooking, I also love to cook more vegan often. I never thought about egg-less omeletes, so this is definitely must-try once! Thanks for bringing this to the Fiesta – hope you had lots of fun partying! 😉
