1 piece (medium) of Vegetable Egg (120 g) has 132 calories. That works out to 110 calories per 100 g. It contains 5 g of carbs, 9.4 g of protein, 8.5 g of fat and 1.8 g of fiber. Its 10.8 µg of Biotin covers 36% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 25 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Vegetable Egg is a simple Turkish-style pan dish made by cooking chopped peppers and tomato, then stirring in eggs until they set. The vegetables are mixed through the soft yellow curds rather than served as a separate side, making it an easy option for a home breakfast or brunch.
It combines the sweetness of cooked peppers with the bright, slightly tangy taste of tomato and the richness of egg. Serve it hot with bread; it also works well as a quick lunch. The eggs provide protein, while the vegetables add some fibre and freshness. For a lighter plate, use a modest amount of cooking fat and let the vegetables take up more of the pan.

An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Vegetable egg is made by softening chopped vegetables in a pan, then adding beaten eggs and stirring gently. Cook the vegetables first so their moisture evaporates, and remove the pan from the heat while the eggs are still soft.
Tomatoes and red or green peppers are common choices for vegetable egg. Onion, spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini also work; cook watery vegetables first so they do not leave the finished eggs soggy.
No, vegetable egg is usually stirred as it cooks, so the eggs and vegetables are mixed throughout. An omelet is generally left in one piece, with its filling folded inside or placed on top.
Vegetable egg has beaten eggs stirred into vegetables, while shakshuka typically cooks whole eggs in a spiced tomato and pepper sauce. The texture and serving style differ, even though the dishes can share ingredients.
Yes, cook the vegetables before adding eggs to vegetable egg. This softens firm pieces and lets excess liquid evaporate, helping the eggs set rather than turn watery.
To keep vegetable egg from getting watery, cook the tomatoes and other vegetables until most of their released liquid has evaporated. Add the eggs afterward and cook gently, stopping when they are just set.
Vegetable egg goes well with toast or crusty bread, a green salad, or plain yogurt. For a fuller meal, serve it with potatoes or grains; fresh, lighter sides balance the soft eggs and cooked vegetables.
Yes, vegetable egg can be cooked ahead, although it is best freshly made because reheating can firm up the eggs. Refrigerate it promptly in a covered container and reheat only until hot.
Vegetable egg keeps for about 3–4 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Refrigerate it within two hours of cooking, and discard it if it has been left at room temperature longer.
Yes, vegetable egg can make a filling breakfast because eggs provide protein and the vegetables add volume and texture. Pair it with bread or fruit if you want a more substantial meal.
