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…

I love quiche!! And, here’s how I make mine (delicious):
bake a premade/frozen pie crust. Spread a tablespoon of prepared mustard on the bottom.
Then, whisk together about 3 eggs and some milk or cream. Mix in chopped, fresh basil and some ground black pepper.
Fill the baked pie shell w/ chopped, cooked ham & some shredded cheese. Pour the egg mixture over it. Bake.
The mustard on the crust is what really gives it that extra kick!!
Our favorite egg recipe is for German Pancakes or Dutch babies. I learned how to make these un High school home ec. class. They are probably my kids favorite breakfast ans we make them every Sunday. The recipe is so simple too. You can multiply the recipe for how many people you are feeding. For each person you will need 2 eggs, 1.2 cup flour and 1/2 cup milk. That is it! We usually do 8 eggs, 2 cups milk and 2 cups flour for our family. You mix in the blender for 2 minutes and bake at 425 for 20 minutes. Eat with powdered sugar and syrup or jam. Enjoy!
I love Paula Deen’s Spinach and bacon quiche, it is so yummy!

My basic egg recipe is just egg burritos. Scrambled eggs, add salsa, shredded bacon, cheese and roll in a tortilla. One of my favorite dinners.
I really love thick, rich custardy chocolate creme brulee. It is my favorite dessert on earth, and requires loads of eggs. Here’s a good start:

We love eggs at our house too!! We go through 5 dozen a week…is that normal?? Probably not, but we do 🙂 My favorite egg recipe is our Egg Cassarole. Eggs with green chilis and cheese layered. It’s always a hit!!!!
I love to make Baked French Toast on Christmas morning…
Deviled Eggs are our favorite. I sometimes add horseradish to spice them up a bit. I like using a cut of green chili pepper on top for a little decoration.
I also blogged about it!

we always stock up on eggs because i go through so many of them a week! my favorite thing to do is make pate a choux (cream puffs), but lately i’ve REALLY loved making breakfast (something i don’t usually do during the week) and have been craving over easy and sunny side up eggs a lot!! i also like to boil several for the week to have a hard boiled egg as a healthy snack in between meals so that i’m not munching on chips or other not so good for you stuff!!
My husband’s favorite, simple, and most asked-for breakfast/dinner meal is french toast.
But now I’m way excited to try those egg and brocolli muffins. Thanks so much!
I love poached eggs!
Ingredients Needed:
Eggs, room temperature
Water
White vinegar (optional)
I like to call them ghost eggs for my kids!
I love Quiche and was so excited to find that they aren’t too difficult to make! I am not the world’s best cook, so anything that is yummy and easy to make is top on my list!
I love to make omlettes. Plain, cheese, pork and cheese, veggie, you name it.
I actually make an egg dish every week for breakfasts that I can just stick in the microwave — no real recipe. A couple of eggs, a couple of egg yolks, some cottage cheese, whatever veggies are lying around, and some spices; just stick em in the oven at 375 for about 30-40 mins and you’re good!
Thanks for the chance to win
When I think of eggs, I love “Toad In The Hole”.
Toast the bread and make a hole in the center and fry the egg inside the toast. Yummy!
My favorite egg recipe is breakfast burritos. Just eggs, cheese, chunky salsa, and some tortillas! YUM!
My husband makes the best eggs! He adds milk and loads them up with cheese…then scrambles them. We love to eat them on a bagel.
I think my new favorite is crepes! I love them.
Egg cups, any left over veggies, some cheese and eggs bake in a cup cake pan.
I love any breakfast w/ eggs, but I LOVE omelets w/ broccoli, cheese and crunchy bacon pieces! Yum!
My favorite egg recipe is an egg sandwich. Simple yes, delicious oh yeah! Sandwich thins, cheese, bacon…oh yum!

I LOVE EB! So funny, we had to borrow eggs from our neighbor (aka the Reverend from our church) when I was younger, and he explained to me that they were Eggland’s Best, showed me the EB printed in red, and told me some info about them. I’ve been hooked ever since!
I like it simple- 3 egg whites, one egg, scrambled. NOM!!! That says EGGS to me.
Cheesecake is my #1! Specifically this one: http://rootsandringsrecipes.wordpress.com/2009/07/30/deep-dark-chocolate-cheesecake/
I love all egg dishes, but one of our favorite desserts in Chocolate Chunk Bread Pudding. It is so delicious!! 🙂

I love eggs, One of my favorites is a egg scramble of:
Eggs
Hickory bacon
carmelized onions
spinach
monterey jack cheese
I cook my bacon and pour out the grease and add a little butter to the pan and then carmelize my onions and then add in the other ingredients. Very yummy. Posting on Facebook
Oh, we love German pancakes around here! Lots of eggs in there! The hubbs fam always makes a dish called Spinach Souffle- it’s very eggy, spinachy and cheesy…
When I think of eating my favorite eggs, the first think to come to mind is poached eggs on toast.
Just plain scrambled eggs or omelets are my favorite. I fix them ALL the time and love Eggland’s. That’s all I ever buy.
I love to make gougeres with gruyere cheese. It’s a pate a choux dough with the cheese mixed in to make it savory instead of sweet. The recipe calls for 4 eggs, which give the gougeres a nice pouf and eggy inside texture! Love it!
To my fiance and me, weekends mean sleeping late and cooking a big breakfast at home. One of my favorite egg dishes is the ‘leftover omelet.’ Throughout the week, we will save leftovers from some of our dinner entrees and use them for omelet stuffings on the weekend. Savory, meaty, juicy dishes work best. Some of our favorites have been pulled pork bbq in a cranberry/chili sauce, slow-cooked venison roast and meat/veggie leftovers from taco night. I use 2-3 of eggland’s best free range/certified humane eggs, a little bit of milk, pepper and a cuban spice mix that I make myself. Sometimes we add gouda or cheddar cheese. Then the leftovers go inside the omelet, and we usually add a topping or side of salsa, bbq sauce and/or sriracha sauce for a kick.
My favorite thing to make with eggs… a custard-base vanilla bean ice cream. Then use the egg whites to make an angel food cake. It’s the perfect summer dessert.
I love adding eggs to chicken fried rice… it is such a great side to Sweet Sour Chicken I make and Egg Rolls! ENTER ME, THANKS!
Each Christmas we have Swedish Eggs (go figure we’re Danish). The eggs are baked & cut into squares. You top them with a sour cream sauce & what ever topping your heart desires (bacon, cheese, shrimp…you get the idea.
