To be fair in MOST things baking substituting some banana, pumpkin, applesauce, etc. for egg will work fine (and impart some flavor so, pick which one works for what you're doing) but in an uhh egg custard.... well... That is a bit different. (Really I would probably just use like potato starch to get something that would set correctly, but you would need to adjust flavor if you wanted to get it close since that won't give egg flavor.)

In recipes that have egg as the star ingredient I add just a teeny pinch of kala namak, it adds a bit of the background sulfur flavor. I'm allergic to egg whites, but honestly I'm not sure I'd even bother with an egg custard. There are plenty of alternative desserts that dont need to be a vegan dish that's 80% starch lol
