∙ 13y agoNo, use 4 of your extra large eggs, even if the recipe only calls for large eggs. There really isn't a huge difference between large and extra large.

You can substitute extra large eggs for baking. The important thing to remember here is the amount of liquid you are putting in your baked item.
