Make These 20 Egg-Centric Dishes Without Eggs! – One Green Planet

We’re celebrating all the egg dishes we can make even better without eggs and the cruel egg industry. That’s right, there’s no better day to show our family, friends and the world that eggs are not necessary for making dishes where eggs are usually the main ingredient. Sure, by now most people know that it’s possible to cook and bake without eggs and that we can use ingredients like flaxseeds, chia seeds, and pureed fruit for binders and leavening agents. But what about dishes like omelets, frittatas, and quiches? No problem! What about Eggs Benedict and sunny-side-up eggs? We got it covered! We also have lots of tips and tricks. See Who Needs Eggs? Here’s How to Make Vegan Omelets, Frittatas, Quiches, and Crepes for all the details on making eggy dishes eggless. Then try these 20 egg-centric dishes made even better without eggs.

17. Challah French Toast

By definition, challah is egg bread and everyone knows it’s the best bread to use for French toast which means covering it with an egg batter. This Vegan Challah French Toast is a double-play against eggs since neither the challah nor the batter contains any eggs. Made with chickpea flour, the batter is perfect and topped with maple syrup and fresh fruit, it’s an amazing breakfast or brunch dish.

18. Fresh Blueberry Blintzes

Most people think crepes require eggs but these Fresh Blueberry Blintzes prove that isn’t so.

20. Vegan Egg Nog
