Just Egg review - plant based egg product [View all]

https://www.ju.st/stories/plant-based-eggs

We have tried the liquid JE (found in the dairy) and the frozen JE.

The frozen JE is exactly like the egg patties I remember from egg McMuffin type breakfast sandwiches I ate years ago. It takes about 45 seconds per side in the micro & is ready to eat. I made a Gardein vegan breakfast sausage & JE sandwich with Vegenaise on toast, that was delicious. And fast. By the time the bread was toasted, the sandwich was ready to put together.

But then I found that I can bake the liquid JE in muffin tins & get the same consistency as the frozen. They fit with the sausage better, too. Also, I froze a few, to see how they thaw, and they thaw just fine. I cut one up & put it in my fried rice & it was great.

My husband made an omelet with the liquid JE, & I wasn't crazy about that, but now he just takes everything he wants in an omelet, stirs it all together in a bowl with the liquid JE, & pours it into a greased baking dish & bakes it. It comes out kind of like a soufflé, very yummy.

I came across a new vegan cheese & splurged, cuz it was kind of pricey, called Parmela. It's been the best vegan cheese I've had so far. It still doesn't really melt when on top of things, but I added a handful to one of our JE soufflés & it melted great & tasted great.

These have been fun products to try, but a little pricey for my budget. Also, my diet is pretty simple & these are kind of treat food.

Happy eating!

on edit: I haven't tried baking with JE, yet. That's up next. After French toast, that is.
