According to Statista, 315.91 million Americans used eggs in 2020, and it has been on the rise. That’s a lot of demand.

However, egg prices have recently skyrocketed due to the recent avian flu outbreak, resulting in reduced supply. It went to as much as $18 for a dozen, making it difficult for many Americans to eat eggs for breakfast.

In this situation, what are your alternatives? We visited our favorite Reddit to understand what people are replacing eggs with. Here are the top picks.

Hummus on toast, sprinkle with toasted sesame or sunflower seeds, or other seeds/nuts of your choice for some added crunch. You can make up a big batch of hummus and freeze what you don’t need. Serve with a side of grilled tomatoes or wilted spinach, or whatever other veggies you like. I know fresh tomatoes haven’t been that cheap either, but tinned whole tomates, drained and roasted, are delicious!” shared one.

Chickpea flour is legit – mix with water 1:1, add baking powder/vinegar if you want a bit lighter and whatever seasonings you want.
