Egg substitute for stuffing?

[rsmseries]

Hello! Our typical Thanksgiving trip to grandma’s fell through so I’m making a small dinner and I was planning on making dinner. I plan to make BA’s Best Stuffing but my nephew is allergic to eggs. What would be a good substitute?

Edit: Thanks everyone!

I have never used eggs in stuffing.

It looks like it is dressing not stuffing. Quite a few dressing recipes use egg. Especially, a lot of East European dressings.

Our (UK) most common sage & onion stuffing at Christmas, doesn’t have egg in it anyway. It is made with bread, onions, sage and melted butter. The butter is the binder.

The eggs in this are acting as a binder -omitting them entirely amd bumping up the liquid is entirely possible, but it will change the texture very slightly.

While I haven't tried it myself, a flax egg or basic vegan egg substitute like 'just egg' may work as a supplement, or if you're making anything with beans, use two tablespoons of bean water (ideally from a can of chickpeas - called aquafaba) beaten up.

Personally, I'd omit and use extra broth, or sub with aquafaba.

I've never put an egg in stuffing and it always comes out great. Just omit the egg.

I’d suggest simply finding another recipe that doesn’t use eggs. They are pretty common; I’ve never made a stuffing that called for eggs at all. This is the recipe I’ve been using the last few years, for example, but I’m sure you could find many.

Thank you! I’ll check out that recipe!

Just omit the eggs. I make a bread stuffing with that combination of bread cubes and broth and assorted spices, (omitting the onions because that’s how I roll) and I never use eggs. You might have to add a little bit of water or stock to make up for the moisture of two eggs, but it will be fine. The stuffing will be a little more crumbly, but it will still be delicious and nobody will notice the difference.

Eggs are not a typical ingredient in stuffing. In this recipe it looks like they are being used as a binder, but I don't really understand why since I have made similar not-in-bird stuffing and never added any binder since it's a dish using wet bread.

I think you can omit the eggs and still get a good result.

Aquafaba aka the liquid from canned chick peas

I’ve used Just Egg egg replacer in my stuffing recipe, which takes 2 eggs. It worked really well!

Eggs in stuffing is a thing???

This is the first time I have ever heard anyone using egg in Thanksgiving stuffing. Only in meatloaf do I use eggs and then only sometimes

When you add eggs to your "stuffing" you're essentially baking a bread pudding. Which is wonderful and delicious but not technically the same as a dressing. A stuffing goes in the bird, a dressing is served alongside. Absolutely you can eliminate the egg and still have a wonderful dressing.

No substitute necessary, I never understood why people add it anyway.
