Great meatloaf without egg?

    I'd like to make meatloaf but without egg as I'm cooking for one and eggs only come in packs of six minimum so probably four would go to waste (don't like eggs scrambled, fried etc).

    I hate to see good food go to waste so was thinking might just use milk instead.

    Was thinking of meatloaf with mince, crumbled up home made bread, tomatoes, shredded carrots, mushrooms, sliced peppers, sliced onions and a small bit of shredded ginger and one finely chopped red chilli and maybe half a pint roughly of milk to bind it together with some salt, pepper and maybe some parsley and oregano and a dash of Worcester sauce.

    Going to turn out horrible?, anyone have better meatloaf recipes minus the egg?

    Have a weather station?, why not join the Ireland Weather Network - http://irelandweather.eu/

    Personally, if I wasn't using egg, I'd just leave it out as opposed to subbing it with anything - especially in meatloaf.

    How about alternative egg recipes - like use them in baking, pancakes, choux pastry, custard, meringue etc? You don't have to eat them straight up...

    Custard rules, perhaps you should use the rest of teh dozen to experiment with making it! (tis not the easiest thing)

    you could make bread and butter pudding too!

    I have seen Nigella freezing unused egg-whites, so you might be able
    to crack and freeze the egg in a wee baggie?

    I suppose you could use some flour and water to bind the mixture together?

    I think Fallon & Byrne sell eggs seperately.

    Or - for the unused eggs - you could make Hollandaise sauce?

    Spagetti Carbonara?
