I'm not sure why you can't figure it out, in nearly every recipe that
includes egg it is used as a thickener / binder. I use egg in my sausage
and mushroom stuffing/dressing and have yet to have any complaints about
it, rather I get a lot of compliments. I prefer a more solid
stuffing/dressing and that is particularly helpful for the portion I use
to make stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer.
