Substituting Eggs

SUBSTITUTING EGG WHITES FOR WHOLE EGGS

In most egg-based recipes, you can substitute 1 or 2 egg whites for a whole egg.

If a recipe calls for 2 eggs, you can replace the 2 whole eggs by 1 whole egg and 2 egg whites, for example in meat loaf, hamburgers, pancakes, quick breads, muffins or salad dressing.

Where a recipe calls for 2 egg yolks, use 1 whole egg instead, if you wish. For scrambled eggs, you can use 1 whole egg and any number of whites.
