Hi friends!
I shared a photo of this chickpea egg sandwich a few times and a lot of you messaged me for the recipe. I figured I would add it to the blog so I have a reference point for you guys in the future.
I was inspired by Brittany Viklund, a fellow vegan blogger who I follow on Instagram. She shared a similar sandwich and I was excited to play around with the recipe and put my own spin in it. And also, if you do not follow her, highly recommend! She’s awesome.
This is such an easy sandwich to make – very quick, filling, and fairly comparative to the real thing.
But honestly, aside from the Just Egg, many things are not going to be exactly as an egg would be. This is no exception. The texture is different and the taste certainly is. If you want to add black salt for more of an eggy flavor, go for it. I am not a fan of it (mostly because I do not miss that kind of flavor) but I know a lot of people swear by it.
I definitely prefer tofu as an egg replacer in my breakfasts, but this is a welcome change. It keeps breakfast interesting. And I know a lot of people aren’t into tofu, so if that is you, maybe this is the exact recipe you have been searching for.
