"After many, many, many failed attempts I may have finally found a bomb little vegan egg recipe."
Ellie created the egg with a concoction of vegan ingredients, and claims it tastes just like the real thing.
Using the staple vegan product nutritional yeast, she mixed it with black salt, pumpkin and rice flour, and carefully crafted her vegan version, which has excited a large number of her followers.
"MINDBLOWN that's not an egg," one user commented. They went on to ask: "Very curious about this egg.. Can you share the secret? What is it made of?"
