These Brands Have Cracked the Code for Next-Level Vegan Eggs

In the case of vegan products, the chicken certainly came before the (vegan) egg. It took the plant-based industry a while to debut a product (other than tofu) that cooked and baked up like a bird-based egg, but today, we have an ever-growing handful of egg alternatives. 

JUMP TO THE VEGAN EGGS

The making of vegan eggs

The vegan egg innovation began with powdered products that could be scrambled and baked when reconstituted with water. Follow Your Heart’s VeganEgg, although now discontinued, is just one example of this early innovation.

In 2019, Eat Just entered the space with its pourable, mung bean-based egg and continued on to dominate the category. While Eat Just’s Just Egg may still be the frontrunner, there’s plenty of room for other brands to try their hand at a plant-based egg alternatives. And as of 2026, a number of brands have grabbed their share of the vegan egg market with plant-based hard-boiled eggs, fried eggs, and even poached eggs. 

9 vegan eggs making the chicken egg obsolete

From pourable options to an old-school, tofu-based innovation, here are nine vegan eggs (listed in no particular order) to keep an eye on. 

Eat Just

1Eat Just

As previously mentioned, Eat Just’s Just Egg has dominated the vegan egg market since its debut in 2019. Since then, this groundbreaking liquid egg has undergone a number of reformulations for an even tastier, fluffier alternative to chicken eggs. The brand also offers a heat-and-eat egg patty perfect for breakfast sandos. Since debuting, Eat Just has sold the equivalent of over 500 million chicken eggs—more than half a billion.

Yo Egg

2Yo Egg

Yo Egg may be relatively new to the scene, but it has already made a lasting impression. In 2023, the company launched its retail arm, and quickly came to partner with Veggie Grill to offer fried-egg-topped burgers at the vegan chain. Later that same year, Yo Egg entered the retail market, bringing its line of vegan fried eggs, poached eggs, and egg patties straight to consumers. But what exactly are these innovative, runny eggs made of? Yo Egg turns primarily to soy and chickpeas to create the base of these no-egg eggs.

Crafty Counter’s WunderEgg does something we’ve never seen on the mass market before: replicate a hard-boiled egg. No peeling required, this product aims to look, taste, and feel just like a hard-boiled egg. Unlike many vegan alternatives, the ingredient list is shockingly wholesome. The main components include water, cashews, almonds, and coconut milk; the additional trace ingredients include black salt, agar, turmeric extract, and nutritional yeast. There’s even a party-ready Deviled variety plus an egg salad option perfect for lunch.

BeLeaf

4BeLeaf

This California-based company with roots in Taiwan has been making vegan alternatives since 2017. The family-operated business boasts a number of products spanning plant-based bacon, drumsticks, salmon sashimi, and yes, vegan fried eggs. BeLeaf’s sunny-side-up eggs get their eggy taste and texture from yuba (aka tofu skin), brown sugar, carrot extract, soy protein, pea starch, and a dash of salt. Pair with vegan bacon for the ultimate breakfast spread. 

Crackd

5 Crackd

First launched in the UK, this pea protein-based liquid egg officially made its US debut in 2025. We sampled this Crackd in both savory and sweet iterations—a coin-sized omelet, a bite-sized brownie, and a tiny pancake. It worked exceptionally well in every application. 

Simply Eggless

6Simply Eggless

Similar to Just Egg, Simply Eggless relies on an ancient protein source to create its liquid vegan egg. Instead of relying on mung beans like Eat Just, Simply Eggless reaches for lupin beans to create a variety of plant-based egg products including liquid egg, patties, egg bites, and more. 

Zero Egg

7ZeroEgg

ZeroEgg is currently focused on restaurant distribution to help chefs cater to the plant-based masses. The brand’s vegan eggs are available in three formats: liquid, patty, and scramble. Chickpea protein, agar agar, turmeric, potato protein, pea flour, and soy protein all come together to create this vegan egg alternative.

Hodo Foods

8 Hodo Foods

Tofu has always been the original vegan egg replacer. Firm tofu can be sautéed into an acceptable scramble and silken tofu blends up into an impressive alternative for baked goods, quiches, and omelets. However, Hodo isn’t using this as a cop-out. The longstanding, tofu-driven brand debuted a product specifically designed to replicate chicken eggs. The turmeric- and black salt-seasoned vegan Vegan All-Day Egg Scramble can be served hot or cold. We tried it in a chilled egg salad and went back for seconds.

AcreMade

9 AcreMade

This emerging brand makes two egg products—Egg Substitute and Egg Replacer—both of which rely on pea protein for the base. The aptly named Egg Substitute is ideal for omelets, quiches, and scrambling, while Egg Replacer is used for replacing chicken eggs in baked goods. They’re also free from the top nine allergens, including gluten, soy, and nuts. It’s not available in stores at the moment, but it is available online via Amazon.
