Substitution Solutions: Eggs Click here for a printer friendly version of this recipe.

Replacing more than two eggs will change the integrity of a recipe. For recipes that call for a lot of eggs, like a quiche, use pureed silken tofu. Because egg substitutions add moisture, you may have to increase baking times slightly.

Replace 1 large egg with one of the following:

3 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce (or other fruit puree) + 1 teaspoon baking powder

1 tablespoon flax meal + 3 tablespoons hot water. (Let stand, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes or until thick. Use without straining.)

Egg Replacer, according to package directions

4 tablespoons pureed silken tofu + 1 teaspoon baking powder

Note: To replace one egg white, dissolve 1 tablespoon plain agar powder into 1 tablespoon water. Beat, chill for 15 minutes and beat again.
