Plant-Based Southern Omelet
A staple of Southern diners, the loaded omelet gets a fully plant-based makeover here. Diced potatoes, colorful bell peppers, and sweet yellow onions sizzle in the skillet before being blanketed in liquid vegan eggs. You'll get that soft, satisfying texture and hearty flavor you crave, all finished with melted dairy-free cheese. It's a fantastic way to clear out the vegetable crisper for a relaxed weekend brunch.

Notes
- Prep: Dice the potatoes and peppers uniformly so they cook at the same rate.
- Serving: For a little kick, drizzle the finished omelet with white barbecue sauce, comeback sauce, or your favorite hot sauce.
- Swap: If you don't have liquid vegan eggs, a blended tofu scramble puree works beautifully as a substitute.
