Hey Mandi,
I'm curious about using egg white substitute... Why not use just egg whites? Is the substitute any different nutritionally?
Kara -- No major difference, really. Only convenience. 1/4 cup of egg substitute is equal to rougly 2 egg whites. So, instead of cracking open 4 or sometimes I need 6 eggs for the egg whites, I just buy egg substitute in bulk at Costco and use that. It freezes well and I use it all the time.
Yes, Convenience is the main difference. I also find that the egg white substitute is somewhat thinner than the actual egg whites. I always add a little milk to the substitutes.
