1. Whatever the reason that you are looking to replace eggs with egg substitute, just know that all your favorite dishes including desserts can be made with egg substitute. It taste great while it contains much less cholesterol and much less fat then that of real eggs.
   
   You can use it in any way that you would prepare regular eggs, for coating your chicken before coating it with your flour or bread crumbs, making omelets, French toast, scrambled eggs, etc.
2. The amount of egg substitute as opposed to real eggs is as follows ~
   
   One-fourth cup egg substitute = one whole egg
   Three tablespoons egg substitute = one egg yolk
   Two tablespoons egg substitute = one egg white
3. Keep that in mind when you are preparing all your dishes that require use of eggs. You can make your baked goods with egg substitute and they will come out great. You can buy egg substitutes in the refrigerator section near regular eggs or in the freezer section of your grocery stores.

4. Ener-G Egg Re-placer = follow the directions that are on the box
   1/4 cup applesauce = 1 egg
   2 tbsp corn starch = 1 egg
   2 tbsp potato starch = 1 egg
   1 tbsp soy milk powder, 1 tbsp cornstarch, 2 tbsp water = 1 egg
   1 banana = 1 egg in cakes
   2 tbsp arrowroot flour = 1 egg

5. My personal favorite is using the applesauce in place of eggs, you can also use applesauce in place of oil in recipes. I have tried this myself and it does work great. It cuts out the fat while still makes my baked goodies nice, moist and tasty. Since the egg substitutes that you buy at the store are a bit pricey, using the homemade egg substitutes can really be a great alternative.
6. So for whatever reason you are trying egg substitutes just know that there are many options out there for you these days. Your meals can still taste very delicious and contain a lot less fat and cholesterol so you can feel better about enjoying them!
