Don’t know which eggs are safe today? Skip the eggs!<\/p>\n

“There are plenty of egg substitutes available for baking or preparing a dish that calls for eggs.<\/p>\n

Ener-G Egg Replacer<\/a> is a reliable egg substitute for use in baking. It is available at health food stores and most grocery stores.<\/p>\n

Tofu is great for egg substitutions in recipes that call for a lot of eggs, like quiches or custards. To replace one egg in a recipe, pur\u00e9e 1\/4 cup soft tofu. It is important to keep in mind that although tofu doesn\u2019t fluff up like eggs, it does create a texture that is perfect for \u201ceggy\u201d dishes.<\/p>\n

Tofu is also a great substitute for eggs in eggless egg salad<\/a> and breakfast scrambles<\/a>.\u00a0Hard to believe but both yummy, just season to taste! — Dr. Cathie<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In Desserts and Sweet, Baked Goods: Try substituting one banana or 1\/4 cup applesauce for each egg called for in a recipe for sweet, baked desserts. These will add some flavor to the recipe, so make sure bananas or apples are compatible with the other flavors in the dessert.<\/p>\n

Other Egg Replacement Options:<\/em>
\n\u2022 1 egg = 2 Tbsp. potato starch
\n\u2022 1 egg = 1\/4 cup mashed potatoes
