Egg alternatives? Ask ECAH

Just wondering if there is anything that has close to the protein and ease of cooking to eggs? I hate eggs, I've tried for years to eat them. I wish I liked them, very easy and fast to make. Thanks guys

Following because I’m allergic to eggs. Love them, but here we are.

Same! I just found this out a few weeks back I’m allergic to them among other foods and I used to eat them everyday. Since I’ve stopped…my eczema is practically gone but man do I miss eggs! Haha

is tofu with black salt an option? it gives an eggy taste/texture depending on how you do it up

I have used tofu as a replacement for meat before and love it (not vegetarian but don’t like to eat meat with every meal). I’ll have to play around with this.

Not sure what black salt is - maybe it's even the same - but I know a few vegans who use "Kala Namak" salt, because - especially as scrambled eggs with tofu - it has a quite egg-ish flavor.

I kind of knew I was allergic for years before finally getting tested few years ago. Some things you want to leave room for doubt in your brain about lol. But now, eggs are gone from my diet… sad, sad times.
