Vegan Egg Sandwich
Introduction to Vegan Egg Sandwich
Are you tired of the same old vegan breakfast options? Say hello to the Vegan Egg Sandwich made from mung beans! This delicious and nutritious sandwich will revolutionize how you think about vegan breakfast options.
Mung beans, also known as moong beans, have been a staple in Asian cuisine for centuries. They are a highly versatile legume, often used in soups, stews, and curries. However, they have recently gained popularity as a plant-based egg substitute. That’s right, mung beans can be transformed into a vegan egg-like substance that can be used in a variety of breakfast dishes, including the Vegan Egg Sandwich.
The process of making the vegan egg is simple. Mung beans are soaked overnight, then blended until smooth. The mixture is then combined with spices, such as turmeric, which gives it a yellow hue, and a binding agent to help hold it together. The mixture is then cooked on a griddle or frying pan until it has set and resembles a traditional scrambled egg.
This vegan egg is the star of the show in the Vegan Egg Sandwich. Served on a toasted vegan English muffin with all the fixings of a classic breakfast sandwich including a vegan sausage patty and vegan cheese, this sandwich will satisfy even the biggest meat-lover. The vegan egg has a similar texture to scrambled eggs and is full of flavor, making it the perfect addition to any breakfast sandwich.
So, next time you’re looking for a delicious and healthy vegan breakfast option, try the Vegan Egg Sandwich made from mung beans. Your taste buds will thank you!

Chef notes
- Temperature is important. The vegan egg patty is so easy to cook if you nail the temperate and use a cover. The vegan egg turns brown very fast if the pan is too hot. It will also create a tough outer texture. A low heat combined with steam is the perfect way to create a light and fluffy vegan egg.
