The vegetable juice is a neat idea for adding nutrition. I would have to substitute some steamed brocc for the green onions, which give me headaches. I often use egg substitutes and then add one real egg, just like this recipe. There is something about a real egg yoke that you just can’t substitute. Good recipe.
I agree, Doug. My mom taught me that same egg substitute trick. I actually made this omelet last weekend and it was yummy. I’m not usually an omelet fan so I was impressed!
