Christina You need to make The Best & Easiest Vegan Spanish Omelette Ever! So easy, only 5 ingredients and optional red bell pepper for an ever better taste!
This Vegan Spanish Omelette tastes 100% just like the traditional one with eggs. SAME TEXTURE, SAME FLAVOUR 100%. You need to try it and see it for yourself!
We were experimenting for a very long time (I’m talking years!) to make THE PERFECT VEGAN VERSION of The Spanish Omelette. We came pretty close with a recipe I posted a few years ago using the ingredients we had available in Europe (Vegan Tortilla de Patatas). However, THIS new recipe is on another level! When we moved to the US last year, we discovered the product Just Eggย and, believe me, this product is a game changer! The combination of this product, a bit of flour, cornstarch, and baking powder, creates the fluffiest, most realistic vegan omelette we have ever tried in our lives! Then simply add a sprinkle of kala namak (black salt) after cooking and you’ve got yourself the perfect vegan omelette. 100% taste and texture, 0% cruelty or cholesterol! It’s a win-win!
You need to try this recipe ASAP! AMAZING, PERFECTION!
Just Egg is available in so many countries and it’s supposed to be available in Europe this year 2023 so soon everybody can enjoy this recipe!

Disclaimer:
–As a Spaniard I’m perfectly aware that an authentic Spanish omelette uses eggs, the potatoes are supposed to be deep-fried before adding them to the omelette batter and you’re not supposed to add red bell peppers. However, this is a vegan recipe so it obviously does not use any eggs. In addition, we CHOOSE not to deep-fry the potatoes in our house as we like how they taste better when baked. We also CHOOSE to add red bell pepper because we enjoy the combination of flavours. I’m not sure why these facts could cause hate from some people (yes, I’m talking about the not-so-nice Instagram comments some people like to write in our comment section). If you don’t like it just move along and quit being so negative ๐ Have a great day!–

Ingredients
- 3 lb potatoes, peeled and diced (1.3 kg)
- 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 red bell-pepper, chopped (we like adding this but WE ARE AWARE it's not part of the traditional recipe)
- 1 3/4 bottles Just Egg, 12 fl oz per bottle (355ml)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, substitute with GF all-purpose flour if gluten-free
- 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Extra-virgin olive oil, to pan-fry the omelette
- Kala namak salt, to sprinkle AFTER it's cooked
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 420F/215C.
- Place the peeled and diced potatoes on a parchment paper-lined baking tray and bake them for 35-45 minutes or until golden and ready.
- In a non-stick skillet, sautรฉ the onion and pepper until very fragrant and golden.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the Just Egg, flour, cornstarch, and baking powder until very smooth.
- Extract 1/4 cup of the mixture into another bowl and set aside.
- Add the baked potatoes, sautรฉed onion and pepper into the large bowl with the Just Egg mixture.
- Set a non-stick large skillet over low heat. Once hot, cover the bottom of the skillet with extra virgin olive oil.
- Pour the omelette batter into the skillet. Give it the shape of an omelette and proceed to pour the 1/4 cup of the Just Egg mixture that you previously set aside on top. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for 15 to 20 minutes Depending on your stove it may take more or less time, so please keep a very close eye on the omelette at all times so it doesnโt burn.ย
- With the help of a large plate, carefully flip the omelette and let it cook on the other side covered for 10 more minutes, or until ready.
- Serve on a plate, and sprinkle the kala namak on top (this salt tastes like โeggโ but loses potency with heat so make sure to always add after you finish cooking or after reheating, never before!).
- Serve along with our Vegan Mayonnaise or Salsa Rosa and enjoy this super delicious omelette!
