In WW2 eggs were rationed and people in the towns and cities used reconstituted or dry egg mix in tins. The mix was made from whole eggs, nonfat milk, vegetable oil and salt. The mix was used to make scrambled eggs and omelets, French toast and in place of fresh eggs in baked foods. The mixture during WW2 apparently made a thick rather rubbery omelette.
