I am thrilled to be hosting this Review and Giveaway for Eggland’s Best Eggs. Not only am I reviewing this product, but am offering a $100 Visa Giftcard for my readers!
Eggs are a staple in my home as I bet they are in your homes too! I was so impressed to find that Eggland’s Best Eggs contain ten times more Vitamin E than ordinary eggs, 100 mg of Omega 3, 25% less Saturated Fat, and 200 mcg of Lutein, shown to contribute to eye health. It was also comforting to find that Eggland’s Best Eggs are produced by hens that are fed an all-natural, all-vegetarian diet. Basically, these eggs are more healthy than your typical egg and that rates GREAT with me!! With all the cooking and baking I do, I want nothing but the best eggs for my family.
I was not sure if I would be able to tell a difference when cooking with Eggland’s Best Eggs, but I will tell you, there was a difference, they tasted wonderful! I will definitely be a long time consumer of Eggland’s Best!
Here are three recipes of mine that feature eggs…

- Sprinkle broccoli and sausage evenly over each biscuit filled muffin cup.
- Place eggs, milk, salt and pepper into a mixing bowl. Whisk until well combined. Pour evenly over each cup. With a fork make sure eggs get to the bottom and around each piece of biscuit. Top each with sprinkles of cheddar cheese and bake for 28-32 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from center of biscuits and cheese is golden brown.

Pull them apart with your fingers or cut with a fork. Enjoy.

Hey There. I found your blog using msn. This is an extremely well written article.
I’ll make sure to bookmark it and come back to read more of your useful info. Thanks for the post. I will certainly return.
I believe this is one of the so much significant information for me. And i am satisfied reading your article. However want to statement on few normal things, The website taste is wonderful, the articles is really great : D. Excellent process, cheers
I’ve been browsing on-line greater than three hours today, yet I never discovered any interesting article like yours. It is lovely worth sufficient for me. In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made excellent content as you did, the web will likely be a lot more useful than ever before.
Quiche Lorraine is my fave
Mix eggs, bacon, and sauteed onions with half and half and pour into a shallow pie crust and bake. Mmmmmmm yummy!
Breakfast Pizza! Got a package of crescent rolls to use as the dough, scamble 5 eggs, pour over the dough, add hashbrowns, cheddar cheese, sausage and some parmesan cheese. Bake until bubbly!
My fav. egg recipe is an egg bake my Grandma used to make…I still need to get the recipe from her. I do know it had a whole lot of eggs, crumbled sausage, cheese, and bread chunks on top and you leave it in the fridge over night. It is SO GOOD! I have tried a lot of these now that I live 12 hours from “home” but just can’t get it just like Grandma’s.
I’m not a big egg eater myself, but it’s just about the only source of protein I can sell my 4-year-old on. He takes them scrambled or overhard (with the yolks broken)
My boyfriend isn’t one for breakfast but with my fast and easy egg recipe its one meal he never misses. Its foundation is a piece of toast (I prefer sourdough), I bit of mustard for a little tang, a slice of salami or peperoni (which ever we have that week), A slice of Swiss cheese for me pepper jack for him, topped off with a over easy egg.
Its so fast and easy. Its also very customizable for everyone’s taste. Everyone also goes crazy for my mini quiches.
My absolutely favorite thing to eat with eggs is simple, a fried egg sandwich. My dad made them for me as a child and now I make them for my family. I just love how simple and great eggs can be!
I love plain old scrambled eggs. I always buy Egglands Best eggs after my mom pointed out all of their added benefits. My husband and I like to add garlic salt and cheddar cheese to our eggs! So yummy- I am getting hungry now! Please enter me!
my favorite way to cook with eggs is just plain ol scrambbled eggs but add in peppers and onions and cheese and sausage or bacon. Yum!!!
We make a delicious egg frutatta – add in 6 eggs beaten, diced bread, sausage, cheese, cup of milk, diced onions and peppers, and chill overnight. So delicious for a brunch the next morning!
Good old fried egg on whole wheat toast is my simple, yet favorite, way to enjoy eggs.
A simple cinnamon raisin bread pudding is definitely my favorite egg-using dish! Oooo or maybe Spanakopita!

My favorite things to make with eggs are chocolate brownies and egg salad wich tomatoes, cucumbers, and olive oil.
I eat 2 scrambled eggs every morning for breakfast! My kids favorite is eggs-in-a-raft, or frog-in-a-hole.
I’m all about the basics. Scrambled or fried eggs with toast and sausage is the perfect comfort breakfast!
I just love a cooked over easy egg. Nothing beats it!! We eat TONS of eggs in our house!!!
I try to eat low carb, so eggs are a large part of my diet. My favorite is a simple omelette, made with a dash of dill, steamed asparagus and goat cheese.

I just love omelets with lots of veggies and cheese!
I love making souffles and pudding cakes- especially this lemon berry confection from Martha:

My favorite recipe is to make sunny side up eggs with extra butter, breaking the yolk and mixing it with soy sauce and butter and finally eating it with a baguette 🙂
Carbonara!!!!! Onions and garlic and eggs with whole wheat pasta!
My favorite recipe currently is an egg scramble with fresh veggies. I use broccoli, red pepper, and onions. Saute them in a little olive/vegetable oil and then scramble your eggs with the vegetables. Just before finishing, add some homemade salsa while cooking and then top the scramble off with more salsa! Easy and super fast dinner!
