Mayo sub for egg

Egg Substitute with Mayo

My wife has a strong aversion to eggs after having a salmonella scare a while back, but she still enjoys cooking. Tonight, I’m preparing chicken katsu for dinner, and she specifically asked me to be cautious with the eggs. I assured her I would be careful. Then it struck me: mayo is essentially whipped eggs and safe to eat. What if I coated the chicken breasts in mayo before tossing them in panko and giving them a spritz with Pam? Do you think that would work, or would it affect the flavor of the chicken in an odd way?

    Using mayo as a substitute for eggs in chicken katsu should work just fine! Mayo is an emulsion of eggs and oil, so it will help the panko breadcrumbs stick to the chicken. Plus, it can add a bit of moisture and richness to the chicken.

    As for taste, mayo has a mild flavor, and it shouldn’t overpower the dish, especially once it’s cooked. Just make sure to use a good-quality mayo, and you shouldn’t have any funky flavors. Spraying it with Pam should help achieve that nice crispiness too. It sounds like a great solution for your wife’s dietary concerns while keeping it delicious! Enjoy your dinner!
