*Ariana Grande voice* I’m so into foood

Especially breakfast sandwiches.

Mostly for dinner, but hey, that still counts, right?

I’ve always loved the bread + eggs + cheese combo.

And what do you know!

You can whip up a vegan version and completely solve your cheesy eggy carb cravings.

Thanks to Just Egg and plant based cheese slices, this semi-heathy sando will be ready to devour in 10 minutes.

Now in case you haven’t heard of Just Egg, it’s a bottled liquid made primarily of mung beans—Google that ish too—that scrambles up just like eggs.

Crazy!

It doesn’t taste like an egg really, but if you slap some in a sandwich I think it deserves a solid pass.

Invite a toasty pan-fried English muffin to the party along with vegan smoked gouda, juicy tomato, fresh mixed greens, zesty lemon juice, a lil cado for extra credit, plus good ole S&P and you’re set!

Breakfast is served.

P.S. If you can’t find Just Egg or don’t care to use it, feel free to utilize your fave egg substitute… including a tofu scramble situation.

P.P.S. A bagel would be lovely if you’re fancying that kind of vibe.

P.P.P.S. I didn’t have any cado on hand while shooting this recipe, although I would highly recommend.

P.P.P.P.S. Use a gluten-free English muffin/bagel/bread for a gf brekkie of course!
