Egg in Eggplant Parmesan ~ two ideas

[Guest guest]

That is a good question. Have you tried the flaxseed

" eggs " yet? There is also Ener-G egg replacer that

might work better than milk and cream. You can buy

this powder mix in most healthfood stores, but i also

have a recipe for making your own ener-G that is less

expensive. Here is a re-post of the recipe in our files:

 

 

I saw this recipe posted on another vegetarian cooking site.

It looks very useful for those who are trying to avoid eggs

in their baking but would rather make their own egg replacement

due to the cost of commercial brands.

 

Ener-G Type Egg Replacer

 

1 cup potato starch

3/4 cup tapioca flour

2 tsps baking powder

 

Mix all well.

Store in airtight container.

 

To use:

1 & 1/2 tsp powder + 2 Tbs water = 1 egg.

1 & 1/2 tsp powder + 1 Tbs water = 1 egg yolk.

 

When measuring, press powder firmly into measuring spoon.

 

 

Also. here is a flax-egg recipe that was shared by a member

in the past and is also stored in our files:

 

 

Flax Eggs 1/4 cup = 1 egg

 

Combine 1 cup water & 1 Tbs flax seeds (available at

health food stores) in a 2 cup measure and microwave,

uncovered, on full power boil for 2-3 minutes until

the mixture has been reduced to about 3/4 cup. Scoop

the mixture into a processor and mix for about 30

seconds. Strain. (It's OK if some seeds get through

the strainer.) You'll have about 2/3 cup of the

mixture, which looks like egg whites. Refrigerate for

at least 15 minutes before using. Or cover and store,

refrigerated, for up to 2 weeks

 

i hope these suggestions help.

Anyone else have some good advice for Parag?
