One of my daughters has an egg allergy we recently found out about and she's sad she can't enjoy a breakfast taco now. It's always the little things.


Anyone know of a good egg replacer? I've read online that most egg replacers are really only for baking and not for making eggs.

Just curious if anyone knows what I can get. This girls needs a breakfast taco ASAP!

Allergic to all eggs or just chicken eggs?

What about just a potato and sausage, bacon, etc. taco?

I'm actually not sure and didn't think about that. I'll be calling the doc this week to find out. Thanks!

I said that to her today and she said breakfast tacos aren't breakfast tacos without eggs...I couldn't really argue with that hahaha

Haha can't say I'd argue with that either. Well, besides bean and bacon but that's another story. But still think I'd prefer a solid potato and sausage taco vs an egg substitute.....

Per the above, think if you find out non chicken eggs are ok, that's the way to go.

My son had an egg allergy (most kids outgrow it). There isn't really any kind of egg alternative for an actual egg. There are things that can play the same role as eggs in batters and meatballs, but there's nothing that's going to replace an egg in a breakfast taco.

Bacon and potato with lots of salsa is my favorite.

The tortilla is the only mandatory part of a breakfast taco.

Whatever happened to a good old bean and chesse for breakfast? (And lunch, dinner, late night snack, etc)

I think I've seen tofu eggs on YouTube before. Not sure how they taste, but I believe they do a decent job of replicating texture. Or so I've heard.

Also came across a couple products that may be useful.

Tofu can work. It won't taste the same, But it can provide a similar texture
I do not want people to be very agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal.

Follow Your Heart makes a really close egg replacement that's fit for scrambles, and if you're lucky, you may be able to find Just Egg at Whole Foods.

I've been making tofu scrambles/migas weekly for 3+ years and overwhelmingly prefer them to eggs:
- Half a brick (~7-8 oz) any medium or firm tofu
- Your preferred fat in your preferred fattiness amount if you're not using a nonstick pan
- 1/2 cube Edward and Son's chicken bullion cubes (Kroger or any natural food stores like WF)
- Generous pour of garlic powder
- Big pinch of turmeric
- 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast (bulk section at HEB/Kroger or any natural food stores)

1. Crumble the tofu (and fat if using a sticky pan) in a pan over medium heat. No need to press, and think scrambled egg curd size crumbles when crumbling. Just let this guy sit til it starts to lightly brown, stirring occasionally - about 5 minutes.
2. While that's happening, mix the bullion, garlic powder, turmeric, and 1 Tbsp of nutritional yeast into a 1/2 c of water. If the bullion doesn't dissolve yet, don't worry, it will when it gets into the pan.
3. Once the tofu has some golden bits, pour in the wet mixture. Stir it so all the tofu gets some on it, and let that sit so that the liquid mix can reduce and soak into the tofu, 3-4 minutes.
4. Once the liquid is fairly close to being reduced all the way, add the last Tbsp of nooch, S&P, and any of the other flavors we already used to your liking.
