A good egg replacer is soy milk mixed with ground flaxseed, a drop of oil, and a drop of lemon juice.

I have a sweet potato pie that I make without eggs (although it calls for two.) I put in cornstarch mixed with water instead. It comes out a bit runnier, but delicious.

Also, I tried using flaxseed as an egg replacer once, and it was excellent! I used it in cookies, and they came out absolutely perfect.

When nursing DD who was allergic, I used an egg replacer I bought in the health food store made from potatoes. Worked well in veg based kugels.

We love this kugel. I don't follow the baking instructions, I just bake it until the top is browned and it comes out fine.

Other people mentioned flax seed. It works great! Get ground (not whole) flax seed and substitute it for egg in your normal kugel recipe: 1 tablespoon ground flax seed plus 3 tablespoons water for each egg in the recipe.

My son recently outgrew his egg allergy, but I keep making kugel with flax seed because we all like it better. Plus it's healthier!

By the way, egg replacers are often made from eggs. Be careful if you are giving it to someone who's allergic.

Is the flax seed only to be used for potato kugel? or other things also like lukshen kugel? Sorry if it's a dumb question.

I have use ground flax seed as an egg substitute in almost all baked products. Most of the time it works really well: quick breads like banana or zuchini bread, potato and squash kugel, apple kugel, cookies, crackers. It binds well to hold the ingredients together, like eggs, and does not have a noticable taste. I tried it once in a lokshen kugel, and it wasn't so successful. It was edible, but the taste of the flax seed was discernable and the texture was a little weirdly grainy. I've tried it in challah, but there are plenty of eggless challah/bread recipes that I prefer, and my two year old was not thrilled with the little dark flakes in his challah.

I always use subsitutions for eggs:
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp water
1 tbsp vinagar
for each egg.
works beautifully in any cake type of kugel, muffin, cakes, cookies ect..
not as great in potato kugel but I have used it.
I also use parve sour cream instead of recipes that call for mayo.
Enjoy life sells a box of egg replacer, that does not contain eggs. You can buy it online or a health food store.

Just made a zuchinni-tomato gratin from KBD for Shabbos. It uses zuchinni, tomato, an onion, olive oil, margarine, salt & pepper & breadcrumbs as a topping-I used cornflake crumbs though.
