Usually I can figure out what to do, but when it comes w/ this, I'm stumped.

depends on what you're trying to make.
What kind of recipe are you trying to 1/2?

I would agree. I think that if you're making a kugel, just add the extra egg. If you're baking, I would be more wary. Maybe whisk the egg in a cup and pour half in.

I always throw in the extra "half". Meaning, if the recipe calls for three eggs and I'm halving it, I use 2. Never had a problem yet.

Well usually baking recipes call for large eggs and most of the time I have extra large - so when it calls for 2 1/2 eggs (if splitting in half) I'll just use 2 extra large eggs. I figure it's about the same. Also, you can use the full egg and just leave out a drop of the liquid called for in the recipe. It's all about the total proportion of wet/dry.

I would go for the lesser of eggs ... as a matter of fact I made a cake w/o eggs merely added more water and it was fine ...

This always happens when I halve my challah recipe. I beat the odd egg and pour half in, and I use the other half for the wash at the end.

I round up on the egg and use a bit less shortening when baking.
