  You'll have to experiment a bit to determine just the right amount of an ingredient to serve the purpose. A good starting point with most recipes in which egg acts as a binder is to use 2 to 3 tablespoons of any of the following ingredients (or a combination of them) to replace one whole egg. If the original recipe calls for two eggs, start with 4 to 6 tablespoons of egg substitute.
  
  * Tomato paste
  
  * Arrowroot starch
  
  * Potato starch
  
  * Cornstarch
  
  * Whole-wheat, unbleached, oat, or bean flour
  
  * Finely crushed breadcrumbs, cracker meal, or matzo meal
  
  * Quick-cooking rolled oats or cooked oatmeal
  
  * Mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, or instant potato flakes
  
  You can also try 1/4 cup of any kind of tofu blended with 1 tablespoon of flour or 1-1/2 teaspoons vegetarian egg replacer mixed with 2 tablespoons of water.
