Do you have information on the environmental cost of growing the plants vs eggs?
I would agree that factory farming of eggs has a terrible effect but it seems like on a small scale it wouldn't necessarily be true.

(this is called the feed conversion ratio)
Eating vegetarian gives the baseline for comparison, a conversion ratio of ~1:1 (I think it is better to not claim exactly 1, animals eat different things than humans and maybe do better with extracting value from fiber).
The details of a given process for making a lower compromise meat replacement would have to be considered to calculate the equivalent measure. I don't think it would even be 2:1, but that's just a guess.
