Substituting Egg Whites For Whole Eggs

In most egg-based recipes, you can substitute 1 or 2 egg whites for a whole egg. If a recipe calls for 2 eggs, you can replace the 2 whole eggs by I whole egg and 2 egg whites, for example in meat loaf, hamburgers, pancakes, quick breads, muffins or salad dressing. Where a recipe calls for 2 egg yolks, use I whole egg instead, if you wish. For scrambled eggs, you can use I whole egg and any number of whites.
