Egg-stroidinary eggs!

Between inflation and bird flu, eggs are scarce and expensive.
We found a twelve pack at Walmart for around $4 which isn't so bad.
It got me to thinking about substitutes. If sugar is an issue, we can use artificial sweeteners (well, I don't, but they can be an option.)
If potatoes are scarce, pasta or rice can be used.
Canned evaporated milk can be substituted in cooking for whole milk in some recipes.
Frozen or canned fruits and veggies can be switched for fresh when necessary.
But I can't think of a good substitute for eggs.
Do you know of anything?

I have never seen it but I think it is in powder form. Eggs replacer or something like that. I might check out Amazon later.

Eggs are a good source of protein and they are still cheap as compared with meat.

You're right, meat here is awfully expensive. I'm thankful we have venison in the freezer.

@1creekgirl You can buy it in a carton at Walmart or Target..it is liquid mung bean..it tastes just like scrambled eggs. So weird but it does.
It should be in the dairy section if you can find it.

You can replace egg with buttermilk in baking cakes. Some of my pure vegetarian friends try that and it comes out very good. If you are looking for a good protein source, you can replace it with lentils like moong. But definitely it will not taste the same.
