Eggs provide richness, colour, protein and tenderness. Beaten egg whites provide extra volume and air. Most egg replacers on the market will provide instructions for replacing whole eggs and egg whites. Eggs also act as binding and leavening agents.. Figuring out the purpose the eggs serve in a recipe will help determine which type of egg substitute to use (see chart-- when in doubt, assume eggs are in the recipe to provide leavening, and use the second set of substitutes).
Kind of holds things together.

COOKING FUNCTIONS While eggs are widely known as breakfast entrees, they also perform in many other ways for the knowledgeable cook. Their cooking properties are so varied, in fact, that they have been called "the cement that holds the castle of cuisine together."
Eggs can bind ingredients as in meatloaves or croquettes. They can also leaven such baked high rises as souffles and sponge cakes. Their thickening talent is seen in custards and sauces. They emulsify mayonnaise, salad dressings and Hollandaise sauce and are, frequently used to coat or glaze breads and cookies. They clarify soups and coffee, in boiled candies and frostings, they retard crystallization. As a finishing touch, they can be hard cooked and used as a garnish.
