Good morning folks, simple question for you. What sorts of egg alternatives exist out there? I'm specifically looking for something that I can make an omelette-like type of food with. Something that replicates the egg taste and texture as closely as possible.

I've been trying really hard to stick to fully plant based diet. Haven't had any dairy in weeks or eggs in months. Years since I last ate meat. But lately I've been having weird cravings for omelettes because I used to eat one for breakfast every morning.

Thank you avoheart

Justegg and similar products work well. For a scramble, use tofu. For baking, use powdered egg replacer or a flax egg. For general cooking, use aquafaba.

a note on tofu scramble: add kala namak for sulfur-y egg taste

BTW you might just want to buy it online. I looked at my local spice store and several grocery stores including an Indian grocery before giving up lol
