Experiments with the Follow Your Heart Vegan Egg

If you follow me on instagram, you might have seen that I got some the Follow Your Heart vegan egg to try out and try it out I did! I spent a day in the kitchen trying out some recipes, to see how well this egg replacer functions.

I am going to say upfront, I'm excited about it! It is brilliant to just scramble up to have on toast, for breakfast. With ketchup of course....

But I also made:

Veggie frittatas (so good!)

'Duck & Egg' Fried Rice

And a bakewell tart. This wasn't a 100% success but it was suuuuuper tasty!

If you want a more in-depth review, check out my video that I made by clicking HERE, or the video below the jump. The video also details instructions on how to make the recipes shown in this post too! Win. Recipes for the fried rice and the frittatas are also below, along with a link to the bakewell tart recipe that I used.

Have you tried the FYH Egg yet? Let me know what you think of it if you have. I am really excited about trying more experiments with this product and would love to hear what everyone's been baking up!

My FYH Vegan Eggsperiments (hehe) Video

The bakewell tart recipe I used was a Mary Berry recipe, via the BBC site. I replaced the butter with vegan margarine/shortening and the egg with 60ml/quarter cup of made up FYH egg. (It's about half of one 'egg' measurement on the box!)
