I've used oatmeal in place of eggs. It seems to bind better than breadcrumbs.

My DD has an egg allergy, too, and I've used the flax/water substitute for baking with much success! I use the 1 tbsp ground flxsd + 3 tbsp water. It works better if you chill it for about an hour before you add it to the recipe.
Also-remember, some breadcrumbs are made with bread that was made with eggs! I learned that the hard way...

Flaxseed does have a mild taste but you don't notice it in a recipe like meatballs or baked items or even a smoothie. If I taste plain flaxseed meal or even smell it, I notice a mild fishy or sea flavor.
I keep my whole flaxseed in the cupboard for a while but any ground in the refrigerator. I haven't seen the Costco version that doesn't need to be refrigerated.
The healthy fats in flaxseed are why people use it as a supplement. Similar to benefits of fish oil. Omega 3s = good fats that we don't get enough of usually. Those old wives had something going with their cod liver oil.
