As someone who’s been allergic to eggs their entire lives, and tried every egg substitute under the sun, I find that the best course of action in replacing eggs in a recipe is simply finding a recipe that was developed without eggs, rather than do direct substitutions.

I like to think I’m a pretty good cook and okay baker and understand different egg substitutes and where and when to implement them based on the function of eggs in the recipe, but 99% of the time I’m left eating a sweet that turned out like total garbage.

But following recipes that are egg free from the start makes it more like 75% of the time it turns out great!

I'm allergic to chicken eggs, but I've found that other birds don't bother me. Have you had any success trying duck or quail eggs? Aside from being tough to find sometimes, they work very well to replace chicken eggs.

On the plant based side, I've had pretty good luck with Just Eggs for a lot of things; it's not perfect (won't work for a custard) but works pretty well for a lot of baking.

I read about people with egg allergies tolerating duck eggs and immediately ran to an Amish market that carried them and excitedly ate just a few grams of the resulting scrambled eggs and spent the night vomiting and developing a full body rash.

I’ve been tempted to try quail eggs, as the same Amish market has them as well. But besides being worried of suffering a similar fate as the duck eggs, or in a cruel twist of fate, I can tolerate quail eggs and am forever forced to use many tens of these mini eggs when following a recipe or making an omelette!

Just egg was such a great experience, I actually teared up when I ate my first bacon, ‘egg’ and cheese bagel. Such a cool product.

Interesting. Would love to include feedback from users into the recommendations based on recipe types.

This would be a great feature! There’s many great cooks and bakers out there who might have these sorts of odd, situational substitutions down to a science.

I also like the extension, I’ve been trying to cut out more animal-based products and I’m excited to try it out. I look forward to seeing how it will continue to develop!
