“Just Egg” New Yorker Omelet
“Just Egg” New Yorker Omelet is VEGAN & loaded with delicious Italian NY style flavors. Easy, healthy, done in 10 minutes! If you follow my blog, you already know how obsessed with JUST EGG I am. I literally eat it (mostly in omelet form) every morning that I can. I was a lover of real eggs back in the day, but Just Egg is even better in my opinion! Vegan eggs for the win – hell yeah.
Currently, I am on a road trip through California. You can follow my journey on Insta (https://www.instagram.com/foodgalleygab/) or some of it on FB (https://www.facebook.com/foodgalleygab). I left about 17 days ago from Portland, OR. Sadly, I have only had my Just Egg twice at the beginning of my adventure. I brought my camping stove so I could stay in motels and keep the trip cheap-o. The stove has somewhat worked but I am loving how vegan-friendly California is. And, I’m obsessed with Ike’s sandwiches.
2020 sucked for almost everyone. It sucked pretty extra hard for me with a fucked up post-divorce scenario. I needed 2021 to start with a bang so I made a decision to do my California road trip adventure with my kiddo, Greyson. I was gone a week later. And, honestly… it has been AMAZING so far. Taking the time to sort out my plans, be happy (first time in two years I’ve made it this long without depression), and be outside as much as possible. Thus far, a massive success.
I stopped in southern OR for one night. Then San Fran, Santa Cruz, San Luis Obispo, Venice Beach, Palm Springs (and surroundings), and Calabasas (and surroundings). I’m eventually hitting up Monterey and will then stay with my sister and fam in Santa Clara. I’ll take a breather there and then head to Mendocino, and back into OR. From there I’ll stay in Ashland, then Sisters, and finally, back home to Portland. I haven’t decided if I am going to stay in Portland before I get to China. They will aren’t letting in dependents so I am still stuck, teaching from abroad. I can’t believe we were supposed to move last July. I am so ready to be back in China living the glorious expat life! Like, yesterday…

The BOMB “Just Egg” Vegan California Omelet!
The BOMB “Just Egg” Vegan California Omelet! Is so creamy and delicious that I made it three days in a row. It’s quick, easy, healthy, and amazingly flavorful. In my opinion, this is a classic California-style omelet. And, from my time living in Huntington Beach, CA, and knowing how much Californians appreciate a good hot sauce, I implore you to top this babe off with some bomb-ass heat. I LOVE Aardvark hot sauce, and, it is HOT! I smothered The BOMB “Just Egg” Vegan California Omelet! In Aardvark – an insanely perfect combo.
Like I said in my last post, Just Egg Hash Brown Omelet, I am a total “Just Egg” fanatic these days, and plan on posting loads more “Just Egg” recipes this month (in addition to some bomb holiday recipes). If you haven’t tried it, you should – like yesterday. I used to love eggs; however, these top real eggs for me. They are the shit!
This past month, I’ve had time for me. Sooo crazy. I love being a single mom but shit has been incredibly bad with the ex for the past year and a half. I’d also been suffering from severe depression for the past two years. I’ve had many bouts with depression my entire life, often crippled with life-shattering anxiety. I had at least gotten rid of the anxiety over the past ten years… that is until about 4 months ago, when it came exploding back into my life like a fucking atomic bomb.
Thankfully, it has recently left me. Over the past month or so, I feel better than I have in years. The depression has lifted, the anxiety has left, and I feel great. I am no longer on any kind of meds and I find myself able to live life like “me” again. Cleaning, working, doing basically anything feels good and feels easy. When you’re super fucked up, everything you try to do, something as simple as washing a dish, feels almost impossible. People who suffer understand this, people who don’t? Well, I’ve found VERY few who understand. It is mind-blowing and frustrating when people don’t at all get it and they judge your lack of abilities. The anger is intense!
I say all of this because I feel that people should not be ashamed and embarrassed. I say all of this so that people who “don’t get it,” may muster up some sympathy and empathy for someone they know/love who is suffering. I say all of this because it is the holiday season, this past year has been a total piece of shit for everyone, and we need to take a moment, a season, to say, “fuck it,” and be kind, thankful, and appreciative. Welcome to the “gab” portion of foodgalleygab. 😉
Anyway, back to the grub. The BOMB “Just Egg” Vegan California Omelet! Is just that, totally fucking “BOMB!” If you are a “Just Egg” lover like me, please leave me a comment and let me know your fave “Just Egg” recipes, or a recipe you’d like from me, FGG. Happy Holidays!
I heard this at my friend’s house the other day and it was a total flashback! I did a dance to this in college at our annual Dance Concert. Fuck, I miss dancing! Cook and listen to music, it’s free and amazing therapy…
The BOMB “Just Egg” Vegan California Omelet!
Serves 1-2
Ingredients –
1/2 bottle of “Just Egg”
1/2 small avocado – diced
2 Tbl black olives – sliced
1/4 C small white beans (navy beans)
1/3 C veggie sausage – cut into small pieces (I use Gimme Lean Sausage and roll them into little pieces)
1/3 C micro-greens
1/2 C baby spinach
1/3 C shredded vegan cheddar (I use Violife shreds – use something that melts well)
1 Tbl dried oregano
1 tsp dried cilantro
Optional – 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt & pepper to taste
Olive oil for pan
Directions –
In a small pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once warm, add veggie sausage (if you’re using Gimme Lean) and cook for a minute. If you’re using another veggie sausage that is already cooked or doesn’t need to be cooked, skip this step and pour in your “Just Egg.” If not, once Gimme Lean is cooked, pour in “Just Egg” – you may want to reduce your heat to medium-low if the egg is cooking too quickly
Add all of your herbs, garlic, cheese, olives, and beans – spread evenly over egg – let cook for about 1-2 minutes
Add spinach and micro-greens and let cook for 2-3 minutes more
Add avocado and salt & pepper – if bottom of egg is lightly browned, fold in half and then cook on each side for about 30 seconds
Done!

Just Egg Hash Brown Omelet is the perfect breakfast, snack, or hangover cure. 😉 Done in just over 5 minutes and requires very few ingredients. It’s good just because of its simplicity – you can taste all of the ingredients.
You literally just pop a hash brown into a small pan layered with “Just Egg,” over a slice of vegan cheese. I added olives because I had them and think they’re amazingly delicious in any omelet, some oregano, salt & pepper, and then topped it all with a combo of Cholula and Aardvark hot sauce. Voila… Just Egg Hash Brown Omelet pure deliciousness.

For your Just Egg Hash Brown Omelet cooking pleasure and a relaxing morning (I finally just taught myself this version on the piano)…
Just Egg Hash Brown Omelet
Serves 1 – 2
Ingredients –
1/2 container of Just Egg
1 frozen hash brown
2 Tbl sliced black olives
1 slice vegan cheddar (provolone or smoky gouda would be delish as well – cheddar suits the hangover best – lol)
1/2 tsp dried oregano
Salt & pepper to taste
Olive oil for pan
Directions –
Either microwave your hash brown or cook it in your pan first and then remove it
In a small pan, add olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, pour in Just Egg and sprinkle evenly with oregano, and salt & pepper – let cook for one minute
Place your cheese slice in the center of the Just Egg in the pan (you may need to turn your pan down to medium-low if your Just Egg is cooking too fast). Place your hash brown in the center on top of the cheese, then sprinkle the olives evenly around the hashbrown and let cook for about 1-2 minutes (until bottom is lightly brown or cooked to your liking)
Flip the omelet carefully to keep it fully intact and let cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes more
Done!
Drink pairing –
Red beer (I like mine with a dash of Tabasco)
Mimosa
Pale ale
