If you’re one of the people who have taken the veganuary challenge this month or already on the vegan diet, then this is a must-try recipe.
Last year November Australian dietitian, Ellie Bullen, who regularly posts plant-based recipes on her blog Elsa's Wholesome Life, shared a recipe for a "vegan fried egg" on her YouTube channel and which was currently sitting at over 300,000 views at the time of publish.
Bullen wrote in her blog that not only is the recipe just a fun science experiment in the kitchen but also fun for vegans who do miss the classic ‘egg on toast’ or the many children who suffer from egg allergies.
In the video she says that she’s been experimenting with the recipe for a few weeks, and now feels she has perfected it.
“It tastes just like egg, it's pretty crazy. If you're someone who went vegan and you really miss eggs, I think this recipe is a real game changer for you”, says Bullen.
