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.

My family loves my grandmother’s nut roll recipe..while I always think hers tastes better, my family does devour it within a day when I make it:
Nana’s Nut Roll:
4 cups all purpose flour/sifted
3 T sugar
1/2 t salt
1/2 lb butter
1 cake yeast
5 egg yolks
1/2 pint sour cream
Sift flour, sugar, and salt. Cut butter into sifted flour as for pie dough. Crush yeast with 1 T sugar to make a paste. Put sour cream into yeast. Beat egg yolks well. Add sour cream mix to yolks. Blend together with flour mixture until dough is smooth. Refrigerate overnight.
Filling:
1 lb walnuts, finely chopped
5 egg whites
1 cup sugar
1 t vanilla
Mix sugar with nuts. Beat egg whites until stiff. Add sugar-nut mixture and vanilla to egg whites. Separate dough into 3 equal parts. Roll out from 1/2 to 1/8 inch thin. Spread softened butter over dough. Put filling over this and roll as for a jelly roll. Let rise for 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in 350 degree overn for 30-35 minutes. When cool, or slightly warm, frost with a glaze of 1 T butter, confectioner’s sugar and water.
We love to make our own egg mcmuffins and egg burritos and then freeze them for quick and delicious breakfast. Yum!
I love eggs scrambled with whatever add ins are in the ‘fridge. I also love to make curds; lemon, lime, passion fruit, guava. Yummy!
Thank you
My favorite breakfast with Eggs is making different kinds of scrambles in the morning for breakfast. I like to throw in different veggies and create different things!

Omlettes or strata are my favorite egg meals.
I love Veggie omelettes. Just chop up any of your favorite fresh veggies, saute in a little olive oil and add the egg. Cook until desired “doneness” of the egg. I eat mine with ketchup, but I’m wierd. YUM!
Omelettes! Mozzarella and mushroom, the best.
You cannot go wrong with Deviled Eggs!! YUM!
Egg Sandwiches. Scrambled eggs, toasted bread and some yummy cheese. And a little spinach to the sandwich if in the mood. My daughter always ask for them for lunch. Easy peasy and so yummy!
I love egg omelets with the works such as spinach and cheese, or ham and tomatoes, or bacon and chives, etc.
There are lots of egg recipes that I enjoy making but right now I am craving deviled eggs.
I love chicken egg fu yung. It’s so delicious! I think I’m going to have to make that soon, it’s been awhile!
I took some puff pastery and filled it with scrambed eggs in a white sauce and baked it. It was so good.
EGGS BENEDICT with Julia Child’s Hollandaise Sauce! Uses soooo many eggs, but defenitely worth it!
I love to make what my mom called Giant Pancake. I think its more recognizable name is a German Pancake….based on the recipes I have seen. We would have it on cold rainy nights. I made it for my husband and he considers it to be a dessert….not a dinner. Anyway you slice it, it is delicious.
I use eggs in so many things! It’s hard to narrow it down to a few recipes. I do scramble them and fry them a lot, and I use them in so many different baked goods. I really want to try Eggland’s Best and see if I notice a difference.
I love Breakfast Pizza. (Pizza dough, scramble eggs, bacon, sausage, peppers and onions) Yummy!
I love making this breakfast dish with potatoes bacon ham peppers onions and lots of eggs.
Man, I just love eggs! Scrambled, fried, you name it. I love just about any kind of breakfast casserole and I love a recipe for Cheesy Potato Pie found here:
http://comeandpeek.blogspot.com/2008/10/cheesy-potato-pie-giveaway-winner.html
It’s awesome!
I love an South African recipe that a friend gave me in the Fall. It is kind of a brunch quiche type of a recipe. It has spinach, egg, feta, crubled bacon, etc. It is to die for…YUM!
I love eggs! My favorite way to make eggs is in an omelet. Spinach, bacon and brie omelet, Yum!
Migas….http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2008/09/ree-drummond-migas/
Very Yummy!
These recipes look delish Jenny!! Can’t wait to try them out!!
Have a great week!
I LOVE german pancakes – some people call the hootinanny (sp?)
melt 1/4 cup butter in a 9×13 pan (I usually melt it in the oven during preheating).
In medium bowl:
Beat 6 eggs
Add 1 c. milk and mix well (add 1/4 cup more in dry climates)
Add 1 c. flour and dash salt mix well
Pour over melted butter
Bake at 400 for 20 min
Serve with syrup
My favorite breakfast is Puff Pancakes, also known by many other names; German Pancake, Mountains and Hills…anyway, here’s my recipe for it!
Puff Pancake
6 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
½ tsp. salt
3 Tbsp. butter or margarine
1.Take out middle rack in oven, leaving just the lower rack. Preheat oven to 450°F. Set 9X13 inch glass pan into hot oven on lower rack until very hot.
2.Meanwhile, beat together eggs, milk, flour and salt by hand or in blender or food processor until smooth.
3.Take pan out of oven and melt butter or margarine in it.
4.Pour batter into pan. Bake at 450°F for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F and continue cooking for 10 – 12 more minutes.
Variation: Peel and chop 2 – 3 apples. Spread apple chunks evenly in pan after butter is melted. Sprinkle with 2 – 3 Tbsp. cinnamon sugar mixture. Pour batter over apples and continue baking as instructed above.
Hootanannys! Or German pancakes I think some people call them- but Hootanannys are so much more fun to say.
I am a believer in Eggland’s Best as well! I have tried them all, and my sisters and I agree that Eggland’s Best taste really the best! And have you noticed, that they have the least messy cartons? I have rarely found eggs that are broken in my egg cartons- the regular store brands- always broken, messy, sticky. I guess they just ship them better!
Scrambled eggs is an all time favorite of mine, but what people don’t realize is that the secret ingredient to scrambled eggs is cottage cheese. I dare you to try it. Just add the cottage cheese a little before the eggs are finished cooking. It makes the consistency and flavor of the eggs perfect and the cottage cheese makes it so the eggs are never dry. YUM!
Dippy eggs 🙂 eggs over easy and then a piece of toast to ‘dip’ in the runny yolk! a favorite since childhood:)
very simple — scrabled eggs w/cheese, hashbrowns, bacon or sausage on a tortilla. YUMMY!!!
great giveaway. my new fave is julia child’ amazing omelette. very simple, just eggs, salt pepper adn butter and they are fluffy and fantastic!
Mmmm, german pancakes. Love ’em!

My kids love quiche! We like to do a cheese and bacon for the kiddos and a spinach with roasted peppers and onions in the other. Yum!
I love to make Fried Matzos with eggs. It’s something my mom made me when I was young, and her mom made it for her. I plan to make it for my kids and then teach them how to make it for their kids! For 2 servings, soften one and a half crunched up egg and onion flavored matzo crackers under hot water in a colander. Crack one egg into a bowl and add about a T of hot water then beat it with a fork. Smash the crackers into the egg mixture and let it soak up the egg while you heat a skillet with butter in it to make it non stick, on medium high heat. Pour the egg and cracker mixture into the pan and cook like a fritatta. Yummy!
Custard French Toast!! So amazingly good. It’s sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla, and heavy whipping cream. Top with a raspberry sauce…so good!! A great egg recipe!!!!!
Scrambled eggs wrapped in a tortilla are my favorite breakfast!!!
