Here in the U.S., we're having an issue with Avian Flu in the Midwest, and it's affecting our egg prices and availability here in Texas, for some reason.
One local store is limiting the number of eggs that can be purchased at one time. 3 dozen might seem like a lot of eggs to some people, but I go through 4-5 dozen in a month, and that's when I'm not doing a lot of baking or making things like flan, that could require 8 eggs in one dish.
I can't think of a substitute, since eggs have been a staple in my diet since childhood, and are (or were) a cheap source of protein, I've built my cooking around them. Does anyone know of another item/product that would be a suitable substitute, just in case the situation persists or gets worse?
