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.

Welcome to my online kitchen! Picky Palate is where you’ll find family friendly recipes along with the best Disney eats, tips and copycat recipes! 
My husband makes us “Tortilla.” He learned to make it in Spain. Eggs, ham and some diced, cooked potatoes. It is delicious and we love to have it for dinner. Comes out a little like a big omelet. Thanks for the giveaway.
My favorite egg recipe is a hard-boiled egg dipped in soy sauce.
When I was pregnant with my daughter, ALL I ate was poached eggs……. loved them….
Cake or brownies, hands down!
I make an egg cup for brunch. Line muffin cups with layers of wheat biscuit. Fill w/cubed ham and shredded cheddar. Pour egg/cream mix. over and bake. Yum.
I also love Angel Food Cake.
My favorite way to eat eggs is in a quiche! I love throwing lots of bacon, ham, sausage and cheese in one for hubby, and broccoli, ham and cheese for me!
Any type of cookie dough, of course! 🙂
I love eggs and use them in so many things, but my favorite is probably Buttermilk Pie. It is a custard pie using eggs, butter, sugar, flour, vanilla and buttermilk. I love the sweet and tangy combination.
I love this hash brown quiche from Paula Deen: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/hash-brown-quiche-recipe/index.html. So yummy!
My boys love scrambled eggs with spinach and sausage and goat cheese! YUM!!!
Cheesy scrambled eggs are my absolute favorite!
I love to make feta cheese and broccoli omelets. Even my 3 yr old loves them.
I’ve become addicted to making something I call a baked omlette.
You can use what ever combination of ingredients you want but here’s my favorite:
6 eggs
1/4 c. milk
1 green pepper, choppped
1/2 red onion, chopped
1/2 c. crumbled feta cheese
Olive oil spray
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Spray deep, oven safe skillet liberally with olive oil spray. Over med heat, add green pepper and onion and cook until just starting
to soften. In a separate bowl, add eggs and milk, whisk to combine. Add vegetable mixture to eggs, then add cheese and mix until just combined. Spray skillet with olive oil spray and add egg mixture. Stir with wooden spoon or spatula until eggs are just starting to set. Place skillet in preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. I top with homemade pico de gallo. It’s my favorite quick, easy weeknight meal!
Cut a circle out of a piece of bread…melt butter in pan…drop egg in center…cook a bit and flip for a wonderful quick breakfast. I’m thinking the egg muffin pull aparts look amazing.
I make a hashbrown casserole with hashbrowns, eggs and ham that is fabulous!
Scrambled eggs, crumbled bacon or sausage, sharp cheddar, diced sweet peppers, fresh cracked pepper all rolled up in phyllo pastry and baked into a DELISH breakfast sandwich! Dunk in fresh salsa, Yumm-o!
We love breakfast burritos with scrambled eggs, cheese, and sausage all wrapped up in a warm tortilla. They make a great breakfast, brunch, or dinner!
I have used Eggland’s Best eggs for years and I love them. Eggs are a huge staple in my household. One of my favorite egg dishes is a Baked Gruyere and Sausage Omelet. Here’s the link to the recipe:
http://momscookingclub.blogspot.com/2009/05/sunday-breakfast-baked-gruyere-and.html
Eggs scrambled with cream cheese and sausage mixed in! Yum!
Mexican Puff- almost like an omelet. Eggs, cheese, green chiles, and onions. It bakes for 30 minutes.
Wow, there’s so many egg recipes i love, but i think my all time favorite is Chinese Tea Eggs.
I love plain old poached eggs and scrambled eggs with cream cheese and veggies…also, cage-free organic eggs taste so much better than the regular eggs from the grocery!
Well I think just about every one of my favorite desserts has eggs! My favorite “egg” recipes would have to be quiche and a skillet breakfast with poached eggs on top. I love that these eggs are more nutritive than other eggs – such a bonus!
PW’s Overnight Brunch Casserole is the best egg recipe I make – I love it!!
I have never loved eggs more than when they helped me create my favorite flan 🙂
I love the simple things. Scrambled eggs with toast and coffee.
My favorite egg recipe is for popovers. 2 Cups flour, 1 cup milk and 2 eggs. Put in a cold oven at 450 and bake until done (about 1/2 hour)
nice and simple, but french toast 🙂
My family loves pop-up pancakes, baked in the oven. Then we serve them with fruit and syrup.
I love Eggland’s Best eggs too. You really can taste the difference, and they are much higher quality.
We love our eggs on a toasted English Muffin w/ either sausage or bacon & cheese. The whole family loves them.
I just love a simple omlette with ground turkey, bell pepper and avocado.
I love German Pancakes . . . tons of eggs in those babies! Top it with jam and powdered sugar and they are incredible.
