What is Just Egg?
So let’s take a look at Just Egg. The plant-based egg product is the brainchild of Just Foods founder, Josh Tetrick. He started his company, by producing one of the first of the newer vegan mayos, Just Mayo. It was delicious and what I think was the best vegan mayo. For some reason, Just stopped making the mayo and so now the company focuses on their Just Egg products and offers a few different varieties. Like these.
If you want to make your own reasonable facsimile of Just Egg at home using your own ingredients, check out this post here, How to Make Your Own Just Egg.
Just Egg is Made from Mung Beans
Just Egg is Tetrick’s initial egg product offering, made from mung beans, of all things.
Mung beans are pretty interesting … they’re proteiny and the additional soy, oil, and emulsifiers in Just Egg hold it all together in a way that’s remarkably close to a “real” egg. These are dried mung beans below and they’re actually good for all sorts of plant-based dishes.
Just Egg in the Microwave
Just Egg mixture is pretty tasty cooked on the stove but is even easier in the microwave.
Have you ever made a mug cake? Well, it’s like that. You just pour the Just Egg into a mug and microwave in 30-second increments until it’s cooked. It took me about a minute but microwaves vary in strength but it’s easy to adjust the cooking time to your own appliance.
Additions depend on what you like. I added some bean salsa and onions to this one along with some cilantro and vegan cheese shreds.
Vegan Bac-o-bits and chives with a bit of cheese are also super delicious in these.
Additions like onions and mushrooms can be microwaved for a minute before adding the Just Egg if you like those items more well cooked.
And that’s it, really. It’s that simple. Here’s a more formal recipe outline if you’d like to use it, otherwise just have fun!

Hello! I’m Lisa, a vegan artist, photographer, author, Vegan Life Coach Educator, and RYT 200 yoga teacher. I love showing others how simple and delicious a plant-based diet can be. I draw and paint, cook, write, take lots of pics, eat lots of chocolate, and practice gratitude daily.
It was a hit! I I poured it into a small glass container for 30 seconds; it was half-done, then 30 more seconds, it was perfect. I’ll use this technique often. Thank you for posting this.
Yay 😃 Glad you liked it! We have this most mornings. So easy!
I love your blog! xoxo
TY!
looks good. if i wanted a larger size could i use a dinner bowl so that id end up with an
omlette size?
I’ve made this in the microwave in a larger bowl and yes it does work but it takes a bit longer and you’ll have to stir it as the edges get more done than the center.
