Recently became allergic to eggs. What is a good substitute for them in recipes like tuna recipes etc.??

If you mean 'tuna' salad recipes, use tofu instead--kind of has the same consistency as long as you aren't using the silken tofu.Silken tofu can be used in place of mayo though.

I have to agree with you on the tofu, however I did make a ';cheesecake'; with the silken type and it was actually really good--surprisingly! I think you just have to experiment with different types and brands to get ones you might be able to at least tolerate. good luck. :) Report Abuse

unfiltered apple cider... or u can get a product called ';Beaters'; its a egg substitute for people in your situation.. Good luck friend:)
Nah eat the eggs mate
You could try tofu. Its a similar texture and takes on the flavor of whatever you put it in. Plus, its good for you :)
