So, here goes...
First, heat your pan, and use a LARGE frying pan, like ca. 12 inches or larger. The more Vegan Eggs you try to fry at once, the larger your pan will need to be, as the larger surface will help the Vegan Eggs fry better. Otherwise, if the pan is too small, they will be watery and not fry correctly with the suggested frying time on the package.
While your pan is heating, make the batter, and don't wait too long before frying the scrambled VeganEgg, if that's what your making, because the batter needs to be COLD before it hits the hot pan. Now... it's really, really important that you use ICE COLD WATER. No, not cold tap water (unless you live in Alaska, or Northern Vermont, or whatever, then it's probably fine), but take a few chunks of ice from your freezer, and either blend them in a blender to create an ice slush, or at the very least, shake the ice with cold tap water to make the coldest water possible.
Regarding whether to whisk by hand or use a blender, if you like your scrambled eggs on the fluffy side, use a blender. If you like them to have a little more bite, whisk by hand. My wife prefers the blender version, while my son and I prefer the whisking by hand, which makes the scrambled VeganEggs a little denser.
While the VeganEgg is frying, if you're making scrambled VeganEggs, it's important to use a spatula to move (scramble) the VeganEgg around the pan for the FULL duration that it says on the package, so that any liquid you see dissipates and the batter solidifies. I know, you'll freak out because they say six full minutes, and that's not what you'd do with real eggs, but those extra minutes matter. Otherwise, your end result will taste undercooked, and you won't be happy, and then you'll blame Follow Your Heart, and cry, and we don't want that. So, follow the directions, OK, OK?
Regarding taste: while VeganEgg is awesome, it is a little on the bland side, but there are some very easy ways to make the flavor a little more intense. If you add a pinch of Black Salt to the finished VeganEggs, it will pretty much be perfect, in my opinion. What is Black Salt? It's a type of Indian salt that also goes by the name The Spice Lab's 8 Oz - Indian Black Salt - Kala Namak (Fine) Mineral Salt . It's actually a pinkish color, not black, as the name implies. If you smell the salt on it's own, and for that matter, the dried VeganEgg as well, it will smell sulfurous, and might be slightly off-putting. Trust me when I tell you: it will smell and taste just fine and mellow out once the batter is fried, and the salt is absorbed into the VeganEgg during or after cooking. NOTE: this is NOT Himalayan Black (lava) Salt, which is truly back, but which is a totally different type of salt. While also perfectly good, it doesn't contain sulfur, which is what gives that eggy taste and aroma. BTW: you can use Indian Black Salt on scrambled tofu and other egg-like dishes to impart and egg-like aroma and taste.
Finally, you can use VeganEgg to make omelets, and it works great, just add the filling at least 1/2 way into the cooking time on 1/2 of the omelet so you can easily flip the other side. I would also recommend pre-cooking the filling, and if you add shredded Follow Your Heart (or other) vegan cheese shreds, either add the cheese a minute or two into the cooking, or microwave the omelet after you cook it to melt the cheese a little.
In closing, this is the first vegan egg substitute that I would cook for non-vegans in the morning, without hesitation. Congratulations Follow Your Heart, you did it. You made a excellent-tasting vegan egg substitute that's healthy, great for the environment, and cruelty-free.
Pros:
• The taste is awesome!
• It is very portable and easy enough to reconstitute if you have a whisk. I don’t think I would want to attempt it just using a fork.
• Well priced
• It is easy to remove from the pan, yay!
• Did I mention it was yummy?
• It is an excellent egg substitute for baking, the best I have used so far.
Cons/Precautions
• As it clearly states on the package, it takes longer to cook than scramble eggs. This isn’t so much a con as something that should be anticipated. I was a little bit concerned when my brain was telling me that the mixture shouldn’t be so runny, but I just had to be patient.
• The mixture, in scrambled egg form, needs to be served almost immediately. The texture gets increasingly more rubbery as the “eggs” cools. It isn’t bad, but not nearly as delicious as it when it is hot.
• What I have experienced is that it is best to add additional ingredients once the mixture has cooked a bit in the skillet. I tried adding Daiya cheese and nutritional yeast to the reconstituted mixture before I put it in the skillet and it didn’t turn out as well as I would have thought.
• The quiche recipe provided is not that impressive. Skip it. I have only made a quiche with this product once, but I surprisingly still prefer my tofu-based quiche. This could be due to the less than marvelous recipe, but I don’t think so. I will experiment further and update this bit if I need to in the future.
• I don’t like the strong smell when I am reconstituting the mixture, but I am particularly sensitive to smells, so it might just be me.
• Finally, the packaging. This gripe comes from the fact that I was trained as a graphic designer with a slight obsession with package design. I love, and understand, why they decided to go with egg carton look, but it is essentially useless, as far as practicality goes, and needlessly wasteful. Also, I wish that there were a way to reseal the bag that the mixture comes in. It is very hard to measure the product accurately and keep the little package from spilling. I recommend placing the mixture in a jar and taping the instructions to the front of the jar. It makes life much easier.
All-in-all this is a great product and I am actually going to order some more right now so I can make some vegan Okonoimiyaki! Yum!

I’m not sure if I’ll order it again as I don’t do that much baking and it’s still only “a bit” like scrambled eggs, but I liked it and suspect I’ll finish the packet!
The consistency is good, the colour is a little too yellow, and the taste is a nearly there but not quite.

Makes quite tasty 'scrambled eggs' with the addition of veggies and salsa.
