Super Amazing Mind Blowin' Vegan Omelettes

[Opal Moon]

This is funny, because I was very recently thinking about experimenting with tofu, soymilk and flour to come up with an omelette type concoction.  Can't wait to try this.

I didn't rate this recipe yet, because I think I must have done something wrong.  I definitely couldn't "pour" my omelet's batter--I had to spoon it and press it into the pan.  And then when I cooked it, it stuck horribly.  It turned itself into a  tofu scramble, and I ended up with a rather dense pile of "eggs".   What went wrong?  Should I have used a non-stick pan?  Was it supposed to be silken tofu?  My batter had the consistency of cooked stuffing/dressing.  Was that right?

I use a non-stick pan that, after cooking the veggies in, is a little oiled. I don't know what you did wrong... my batter usually has the consistency of THICK pancake batter, definitely not as thick as stuffing though. Maybe you should try adding more soy milk (and also adding more of the spices, specifically nutritional yeast, to adjust for the additional soy milk) and blend it in a food processor until smooth? I've never used silken tofu with this recipe, but it's worth a shot, I suppose.

I'm going to try blending it. When I made it, I mashed the tofu.  And I'll use a non-tick pan.  Thanks for the clarification.  I'm gonna try this again soon and let you know the results.  I have to admit--I do kind of miss omelets for brunch.

Oh my goodness, this was the best omelette ever!  Better than ones I've had with eggs in my pre-veg days!  So amazing.  I used mushrooms and garlic and jalepenos and it was perfect, really cheesy and eggy.  Thanks soooo much!

Tried this for my dinner tonight coz I couldn't be bothered to cook anything too complex.
I would say it's definately worth a shot.  Not exactly like I remember omlettes - but then who am I to say after 8yrs of being vegan!!

I ended up making it with silken tofu and no soymilk - about the first time ever I had silken and not firm tofu in the fridge! typical!  Still turned out well.
Next time I'll try it with firm tofu and the soymilk.  I reckon the consostency will probably be about the same though.
Will keep as a good brunch / lazy dinner recipe.
Thanks.

Just made this again & wanted to say how good it was.
I have made it a few times and have found that it is better with firm silken tofu and not just normal firm tofu.

This time I added a bit of black salt (a weird indian salt that tastes really eggy without the egg), and used onion and sweetcorn as the veggies & added a bit of cubed  'brie' that I had made from the ultimate uncheese cookbook.  Wowee it was super scrummy!!!!

My omni BF wanted to try some and he liked it & even he said it tasted a bit eggy and quite cheesy!

Really good, thank you!

Really good!! I can't believe this has anything less than a 5.

I edited the recipe a little bit and they have become my new favorite thing! 

My veggies were onion and spinach sautéed with garlic and set aside.  I mixed up the mash using silken firm tofu, a little more soy milk, nutritional yeast, all the same spices but I did not add the flour, and blended with a hand mixer until smooth.  I then added the onion/spinach I had set aside into the "batter" and grated about 1/3 block of Follow Your Heart Monterey Jack cheese and folded that in.  I then added the flour (I use brown rice) and mixed until I got the right consistency (sprinkle flour, mix, sprinkle flour, mix)...I'd say something like cookie dough.  Then cooked according to the recipe.

I've never in my life eaten an omelette without putting ketchup on it and these were so fawsome I had no desire to!  Thanks!

I was very impressed with these. The most omelette-y thing I tasted so far.  I used regular tofu and pureed it so it was super smooth.  Next time, I think I will leave it a little chunkier for more texture.  I've been drooling over a TSP sausage crumbles recipe that is on here somewhere....I would love to mix that into these omelettes!

Well, I've been wanting to try this b/c of VeganSapien's great pic (as usual ), but I thought mine was just, ok. I don't think I would have wanted to eat it at all without the vegetables that I used (red pepper and green onion). I halved the recipe, and used about 1/4 block of extra firm tofu (my favorite), and halved the rest of the ingredients. I added a little more soy milk and just kind of mashed up my tofu. I thought the batter looked about right, and it cooked pretty well. My cooked "omelette" looked exactly liked Mcseven's picture.  I never really liked omelettes anyway..so it just wasn't my favorite. Good idea though!

These were great! I was skeptical about an omelet on bread, so I tried half with bread and half without. The bread wins! Next time I make these I'll add some more salt and a bit more spices (like garlic and cayenne) to both the omelet and the veggies mix. I used onion, green onion, tomato, green pepper, and mushrooms, by the way. Thanks for a great recipe!

The synergy involved in the combination of bread tofu and veggies was out of this world. I used red pepper, onions , minced garlic and ginger juice  for veggies. ( and a little walmart vegan chorizo).
