PREPARATION TIPS

Here are a few ways you can achieve the perfect vegan omelette:

• Depending on the egg you are using you may not need any additional salt and pepper.
• When sautéing add the greens last since they don’t take as long to cook.
• Some vegetables release moisture when they are cooked. Make sure to sauté them until the moisture is gone, or simply drain it from the pan.
• Dairy free cheese takes longer to melt, so once the veggies are cooked mix in the cheese to allow it to start to melt while you are making the eggs.
• If you haven’t mastered flipping the egg yet, you can slide it onto a plate then return it to the pan upside down.
• Prep ahead by cooking up your veggies. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to make the omelet just reheat them in the pan real quick then follow the rest of the directions.
