Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this substitute in all recipes that call for eggs?
While this non-cholesterol egg substitute works well in many recipes, it may not be suitable for all. It is best for baked goods where eggs provide moisture and structure. For recipes needing eggs for leavening, like soufflés, consider alternatives such as aquafaba.
How can I adjust this recipe for more servings?
To scale this recipe, simply multiply the ingredients by the number of servings you need. For example, to make enough for 6 servings, use 9 egg whites, 3 tablespoons of nonfat dry milk solid, and 3 teaspoons of vegetable oil, adjusting other ingredients proportionally.
Is there a vegan alternative to this egg substitute?
Yes, for a vegan option, you can use 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water as a substitute for one egg. Allow it to sit for a few minutes until it thickens. This works well in baking and provides a similar binding effect.
