Mama, after reading your wonderful recipe posted here, I did a bit of research attempting to locate recipes using egg substitute. I found some wonderful recipes in doing so and wanted to share a couple of them here with yours.

For anyone with questions; hypothetically, I believe the eggs set the pie giving it a consistency the same as egg custard pie making it very sliceable. One could always use a quarter cup of self-rising flour (or Bisquick mix) as used in the crustless "impossible pies" from the 70's if concerned about a crust.

it will set like a custard - and you don't even need a crust - which is nice for carb watchers
