Tim Horton’s Adding Vegan JUST Egg to Menus!

A few years ago, it probably seemed impossible for big popular breakfast chains to offer vegan options. Yet, chains popular for their breakfast foods are also adding plant-based options. Both Dunkin’ and Tim Horton’s offer Beyond Meat sausages (and Tim Horton’s even offers Beyond burgers now!) And now Tim Horton’s is going a step further by adding the vegan JUST Egg to their breakfast menu too!

The plant-based JUST Egg is a vegan egg alternative made of mung beans. It cooks pretty much like real eggs — it scrambles, can be made into an omelet, and comes out pretty much the same in breakfast sandwiches.

According to JUST’s head of global communications, Canada is one of the most requested markets for the vegan egg. Which is exciting news for Canadians because Tim Horton’s is more than willing to continue expanding their menu. A Tim Horton’s spokeswoman, Jane Almeida said, “We are always listening to our guests and testing a wide variety of potential products in select restaurants across the country… As we continue to test and get feedback, we will consider expanding plant-based options into other menu items.”

Tim Horton’s is now testing out the JUST egg at select locations. Customers can substitute regular egg with the JUST egg to veganize their breakfast sandwich.

This Breakfast Sandwich With Tofu Egg and Tempeh Sausage by Victoria Rand and Christopher Bill is a veganized version of the classic sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich that puts its original counterpart to shame. The tofu egg is perfectly textured, colored with turmeric, and stacked on top of a savory piece of maple syrup-smoked tempeh, and then sandwiched between two homemade English muffins that are fresh out of the oven.

3. Chickpea Flour Omelet With Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Mushroom, and Spinach Filling

Getting plant-based protein at breakfast has never been easier or more delicious. This vegan Chickpea Flour Omelet by Philipp Ertl came out just the way it should be: Dense, almost crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. The egg flavor was achieved with a combination of nutritional yeast and kala namak salt. You can buy kala namak salt (also called black salt) online and it lasts forever, as you only need to use it in small doses. It has a sulphuric taste, just like egg, but don’t overdo it as it would taste too intense otherwise. The natural sweetness of the sun-dried tomatoes with the earthiness of the mushrooms and spinach go together really well. A real breakfast for champions. Or a perfect after workout meal.
