Asparagus, White Bean & Parmesan Vegan “Just Egg” Omelet

Asparagus, White Bean & Parmesan Vegan “Just Egg” Omelet is another “Just Egg” vegan breakfast concoction. Honestly, I’m obsessed with “Just Egg.” It has yet to fail me. Everything I make with it is delicious – my favorite obviously being vegan omelets, or “omelettes” for you fancier folk. Asparagus, White Bean & Parmesan Vegan “Just Egg” Omelet is like a faux Italian vegan egg breakfast. Soooo good!

I made this the morning my boyfriend and I planned a MUCH NEEDED weekend get-away to Sisters, OR. I have had zero time without the kiddo for almost a year. If you’ve never been to Sisters, it’s incredibly beautiful! It’s twenty minutes from Bend, in the high-desert, is quaint, and loaded with great food and badass antique shops that I can never stop myself from buying shit that I don’t need. Mostly because I convince myself that I do, in fact, totally need this “shit.” For example, the $55 mid-century Samsonite chair I snagged today. And, pretty sure I’m going back for this AMAZING Formica kitchen table with newly reupholstered chairs in bright oil fabric. I’m obsessed! I can already see it as being the focal point of the kitchen in my house in Joshua Tree (JT). That’s right, the one I don’t own yet, but plan on owning in 2-3 years max. LOL.

When I move to Shenzhen, China, as soon as the borders reopen and the consulates are reissuing visas, I’m putting all of my new (less than 2 years old) furniture in storage to await the JT purchase. My furniture and general decor are perfect for the style of desert house I am planning on styling. Why reinvent the wheel and buy anew?

Anyway, the Asparagus, White Bean & Parmesan Vegan “Just Egg” Omelet was the perfect breakfast for relaxing and planning our trip to Sisters. If you do go, check out the Five Pines Lodge. I’ve stayed there 3 times and every time it is better than the last. It’s such a beautiful place and incredibly private.

PS- Heard this on the 70’s Folk station on Alexa en route to Sisters with the lova. I had forgotten about this tune- love it! Sooo… go get down with your badass Asparagus, White Bean & Parmesan Vegan “Just Egg” Omelet cooking tunes! … 😉

Asparagus, White Bean & Parmesan Vegan “Just Egg” Omelet

Serves: 1-2

Total time: 15-20 minutes

Ingredients-

Half a bottle of “Just Egg” ($4.99 at Whole Foods! Loads cheaper than anywhere I’ve seen -ironically!)

2-3 asparagus stalks cut into 1/2 inch chunks

1/2 large lemon (fresh lemon only)

1/4 C small white beans (navy beans) – can sub out for cannellini beans

Optional- 2-3 Large fresh basil leaves – chopped

1/4 C red onion – diced (can replace with shallots)

1 large clove garlic – minced

1/4 C vegan parm shreds (more for garnish if you’d like)

1/4 C Vegetable broth

Pepper to taste (I used a 4 pepper blend & no salt because of the veggie broth)

Olive for pan

Directions-

Heat medium-sized pan on medium low – medium (pending on your stove) and add a bit of olive oil

Once oil is heated, add onions and stir occasionally for about 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook about 1 minute more – stirring occasionally

Add asparagus,, pepper and veggie broth – cook for about 10 minutes (or until tender- not too soft) stirring occasionally

Place contents of pan on a plate and set aside

Keep same pan, pour more olive oil, and pour Just Egg in pan

Add vegan parmesan cheese – sprinkle evenly, and let cook for 1-2 minutes

Add contents from plate and basil – spread evenly, and let cook for a few minutes or until bottom of Just Egg is solid (I like mine browned a bit)

Squeeze about 1/2 of the (1/2) lemon on top of egg and veggies

Fold omelet, make sure inside Just Egg is not runny, and remove from heat

Let cool for a few minutes. Squeeze the rest of the lemon evenly across the top of the omelet

Garnish with vegan parmesan and fresh basil (both optional)

Done!
