My wife worked last night, and didn’t get home until about 10pm. I thought omelettes would be good. She agreed. I had used all of the Egg Busters egg substitute this last weekend also making omelettes. So yesterday while I was shopping, I went to pick up some more Egg Busters (Egg Busters is the store brand version of Egg Beaters). But they were out of the larger size carton of Egg Busters that I have been buying. I haven’t tried actual Egg Beaters before. Egg Beaters is more expensive than the Egg Busters. I could have bought a smaller carton of the Egg Busters (store brand), but I decided to try a small carton of actual Egg Beaters to see if there was a taste difference.
What is egg substitute? It is made of 99% real eggs (probably mostly egg whites), but it fat free. It comes as a liquid in a carton. It looks like what real eggs look like is you scrambled them in a blender.
So I sauteed the ham, mushrooms, and green pepper as always, then poured in the Egg Beaters. It pour in the same. I put the lid on the skillet and left it to cook over medium low heat. The Egg Beaters seemed to cook a litte faster than the store brand version. I placed the fat-free cheddar on top the melt, and placed the omelettes on the plates to serve. My wife and I ate our omelettes. There is definately a taste difference. The actual Egg Beaters tasted better than the store brand. So in the future, I will may buy and use both Egg Beaters and the store brand version. I will use the Egg Beaters for things like omelettes, and maybe use Egg Busters for stuff where it is only minor ingredient. Or maybe I will just buy the Egg Beaters. I don’t know.
