) - The USDA projects the price of eggs will come down in April, but until then, there are substitutes you can make in your recipes to save money . Over the last three years, the price of eggs has increased by $3 a dozen.
Right now, the national average for a dozen eggs is $4.95. Lizzy Davis is the Director of the Dietitian Education Program at UAB. She said as cheesy as it sounds, eggs are magical because of everything they can do. In recipes, eggs can serve as a leavening agent, add moisture, be used as a binding agent, and an emulsifier. “If you’re thinking about a substitute, the first thing you need to think about is, ‘What is it doing in this recipe?’” said Davis. Davis suggests doing some research before you decide what substitute is best for your recipe. If you’re looking for moisture, try apple sauce. If you need a binding agent, you can use chia or flax seeds. If you need a leavening agent, baking soda and water can get the job done! “It will never be a direct one-for-one replication, but you get used to that product, and it’s still going to taste good, it just might not be as tall as it normally would be, or have the same color, or have the same texture,” said Davis. If you are looking to substitute whole eggs, Davis said tofu provides a similar texture and protein amount as a hard-boiled egg. If you’re looking to substitute your scrambled egg, there are commercial products that mimic eggs that come in liquid or powder. “Those are made up of, depending on the product type, different things. A lot of them are made up of different types of starches, and then some leveling agents. Some of them are made up of different types of beans,” said Davis. When it comes to cost, Davis said some substitutes can be cheaper. However, some of the commercial products may cost you more than a dozen eggs.Police searching for suspect who shot 6 at trail ride party in Dallas County
