# “Eggless” Eggs Made From Plants Land First Fast Food Deal

## Rise and Shine

Plant-based proteins have already made their way into your [favorite](<https://futurism.com/the-byte/burger-king-meatless-impossible-whoppers>) [late-night](<https://futurism.com/the-byte/taco-bell-competitor-embraces-plant-based-meat>) [snacks](<https://futurism.com/the-byte/little-caesars-impossible-meatless-sausage>). Now they're coming for your breakfast.

According to a new *CNBC* [story](<https://www.cnbc.com/2019/07/25/plant-based-eggs-land-their-first-major-fast-food-deal.html>), Canadian chain Tim Hortons has struck a deal with JUST Inc. to start selling the company's plant-based eggs in select restaurants — making it the first major fast-food chain to take a chance on the chicken-less eggs.

## Mung Pao Chicken

Mung beans are the primary protein in JUST Eggs, which the company claims on [its website](<https://www.ju.st/en-us/contact>) scramble up just like chicken eggs — no surprise, then, that Tim Hortons plans to use them for [omelettes](<https://www.livekindly.com/vegan-just-egg-omelette-launches-at-tim-hortons/>).

However, don't expect to see the plant-based eggs showing up in any of the chain's muffins or Timbits: JUST Inc. does not recommend using them for baking.

## Meat Market

This isn't Tim Hortons' first foray into plant-based meat.

The company started selling [sandwiches](<https://www.cnbc.com/2019/05/15/tim-hortons-is-testing-beyond-meats-fake-sausage-on-its-menu.html>) containing Beyond Meat's imitation breakfast sausage in May. Then, in July it began offering customers two burgers made with [Beyond Meat's plant-based patties](<https://www.timhortons.com/ca/en/menu/beyond-meat.php>).

In a statement shared with *CNBC*, Tim Hortons spokeswoman Jane Almeida also didn't rule out adding more alt-meat foods to the menu — another sign that the plant-based protein revolution may be just beginning.
