Contest is now closed. Congrats to entry #358, Laura, who was chosen from Random.org

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 a simple sausage, egg and cheese sandwich. I am simple, but love the good stuff!!!!!

  2. Joanna

    Honestly, I’m in love with toad in the hole right now! A little melted butter, a slice of thick rye with a hole torn in the middle, and an egg cracked in the center is heaven to me 🙂 Easy peasy.

  3. megan

    I bake a lot but when I think of eggs I would have to say that simply scrammbled is the best!

  4. Ashley

    I don’t know what to call it, but my mil makes this great egg casserole with green chilies, Monterrey jack cheese, sour cream, and eggs. It is REALLY good and with salsa on top is even better.

  6. Kelly

    I love to make an egg casserole to eat during the week with lots of green chiles in it – yum!

  7. Holly

    I am a picky shopper especially for my clothes. When my son came home from college and went to fix breakfast he took the eggs out and said, “Really mom Eddie Bauer eggs too!” My kids tease me all the time about my Eddie Bauer eggs. I love Eggland eggs! One of our favorite recipes is scrambled eggs with sharp cheese, chopped ham and green onions. Sometimes we add rice and a little soy sauce…mmmmm.

  8. Jamie

    my favorite thing to make with eggs is a vegetable egg white omelet with mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, spinach and tomatoes

  9. Brittany

    Last week I had nothing to make for dinner so I threw together some breakfast burritos with everything I had in my fridge!! They were amazing! This is what I did:

    7 eggs
    1/2 pound ground beef
    chopped green onion
    tomato
    green chilis
    sauteed mushrooms
    cheese

    then I used uncooked tortillas (cooked them of course) and made the burritos! SO SO yummy!! And pretty healthy too!

  10. Gina

    Mmmm…quiche! Eggs, cubed ham, chunks of potatoes, S & P, cheese, pre-made deep dish crust. Super easy and oh so yummy!

  11. Nicole

    Once, a month, my husband and I treat ourselves to a bacon and egg sandwich on the Arnolds sandwich thins. SOOOO good!!

  12. Anna

    A simple and easy crowd pleaser is mini veggie frittatas. I beat 12 eggs along with cheese, chopped mushrooms and peppers. Spray a mini muffin pan with Pam and fill with the egg mixture. Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes. Delish!

  13. Christa Kelso

    I ALWAYS use Eggland’s Best Eggs. I eat eggs with pretty much every meal… egg white scrambles in the AM, Cobb Salad (with chopped egg) for lunch, and I always make buttermilk biscuits with whatever dinner I’m making. One of my favorite recipes is my Lemon Pound Cake, in which you use 6… yes that’s right 6 eggs for just one pound cake! So I need the best quality eggs for my baking products.
    THANKS EGGSLAND’S BEST for healthy and delicious eggs! 🙂

  14. Jenny

    Thanks for the great giveaway Jen! I babysit our young granddaughters quite a bit and one perpetual favorite is scrambled eggs with american cheese melted over. They love them. It would be fun to try this product in scrambled eggs for them.

  15. Kari Holley

    I love making a hashbrown crust quiche, with monterey and cheddar cheese, milk, sourcream and green chilis! So good!! I have never tried EB eggs, but I will put them on my list, and see if I can taste a difference!

  16. Elise

    This morning I made an egg casserole for breakfast. They are so yummy and warm, perfect for a rainy morning!

    Chile Cheese Casserole
    ½ cups butter (I used real butter)

    10 eggs

    ½ cup flour

    1 tsp baking powder

    8oz diced green chilies (I used the mild)

    Dash salt

    1 pint cottage cheese (I used a non fat cottage cheese)

    1 lb jack cheese grated

    Use a large bowl lightly beat eggs, adds flour, baking powder, salt and blend together. Add butter, chilies, cottage cheese, jack cheese and blend.

    Bake @ 400 degrees for 15 minutes, and then reduce to 350 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes until golden brown on the top.

    I suggest when baking, depending on your oven to check the casserole a few minutes earlier on the 35 to 45 minutes time frame.

  17. Rachel in NC

    My favorite is quiche of all types! Love it! I also like to eat my eggs hardboiled, something simple that I can grab and go.

  18. Nick

    We love making whole wheat blender pancakes with Eggland Eggs…..anything whole grain is awesome!!

  19. Jan K

    My favorite egg dish is a baked french toast with blueberries and toasted pecans and a caramel sauce. Yum yum yum!

  20. Jessie

    I love making crepes with eggs then filling them with a yummy marshmallow and cream cheese mixture and topping them off with strawberries. YUMMY!

  21. Katie

    Homemade egg muffins are the best. I always used Egglands Best when pregnant and I know that is why my little girl is so smart 🙂
    1 whole wheat english muffin (Orowheat is the best)
    1 fried egg
    1 pc of 2% Kraft cheese
    salt & Pepper.
    Toast english muffin, add egg & cheese
    Simple and tasty for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

  22. theresah

    I absolutely love vegetable omelets w/a dash of tabasco. I switched and started using Egglands Best. Can definetely taste the difference, better flavor. Omelets are great to have for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

  23. Julie S-G

    I eat eggs every single morning. Honestly, I just love simple, scrambled eggs with a bit of milk and cheese…YUM! I also love a really simple “quiche” made with lots of zuchinni, Bisquick, eggs, milk, and parmesan cheese. So simple and delicious!

  24. LaJessie

    I love making deviled eggs with a touch of horseradish in the traditional recipe, it really gives them a tangy taste! Yumms!

  25. Bev

    I love just a great hard boiled egg. For the longest time, I could never get them right and now I have a foolproof way and love to eat them all the time!

  26. Larisa

    I love eggs in so many dishes but my favorite is probably the simple scrambled eggs with tomatillo salsa. So simple… so flavorful!

  27. Shelly

    Eggland’s Best are the only kind of eggs I buy. I like that they are better for you than regular eggs and still taste the same. I like to make quiche with a potato crust instead of pie crust.

  28. Tessa

    Either homemade egg-mcmuffins that my dad makes or good-ole loaded scrambled eggs with lots of different veggies. Granted, I like eggs in my desserts too 🙂
