For the longest time, a massive (I’m talking six eggs kind of massive) omelette with all the fix-ins was a go-to morning breakfast for my boyfriend Charlie.
That being said, I knew I would have to find some sort of egg-like stand-in when the hankering for an omelette hit!
Of course, it is difficult to make anything exactly the same of its animal-based counterpart, but I knew I had to give it a go! With a little chickpea flour and nutritional yeast you can easily whip up a vegan omelette; I have to say, even if it wasn’t eggs, it was pretty damn good!
