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.

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! 
I am a teacher, and am always in a rush – this means, everything needs to be done fast! In the mornings, I will crack an egg into a mug, and then add 1 tablespoon of milk. I will mix it with a fork for approximately 30 seconds, and then pop it in the microwave for 1 minute…sometimes I will mix in pieces of lowfat ham, or sprinkle with cheese after it comes out of the microwave…and also put salsa on it sometimes. So yummy, and SO EASY!
I love bread pudding. I start with Mark Bitman’s version, and usually throw in cranberries and sometimes pecans.
hmmm eggs how I love thee, let me count the ways…there’s way too many, but I love your blog too!
My favorite egg recipe is hole in ones. You just cut a circle with a glass out of a piece of bread. You butter the bread and fry it in a frying pan. You break a egg in the hole and cook the egg. When it is done I like to put a thin piece of cheese on the egg. Delicious.
I love eggs! We make fried egg sandwiches with cheese and avocado for dinner sometimes. Mmmmm….
I love using eggs in a delicious cheese and spinach tart, using carmelized onions mixed with eggs, milk, mozarella cheese, spinach and seasonings baked in a pie crust. mmmmmm
I always buy Eggland”s Best eggs. Use them in all my recipes. Love Frittatas.
I LOVE egglands best. (Thats why I clicked on this link!) I love that theyu have Omega 3 added. I make my kids each 2 fried eggs every morning. I use eggs for everything being on a low carb diet and a athlete. We probably go through a dozen a day and egglands are always one of my top choices!
I use eggs in lots of things. I think my favorite egg dish are oven omelets from the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. With a cheesy sauce on top, yum!
We love to have German pancakes on the weekends!
I love to make just plain ol’ scrambed eggs for breakfast, and my husband makes a great creme brulee with eggs and cream. Yum!
I love plain ol’ scrambled eggs for breakfast, and my husband makes a great creme brulee with eggs and cream. Yum!
Breakfast casserole!
The latest recipe I made using eggs was a Florentine quiche recipe I found on meals.com. It was delicious.
Eggs are definitely a staple in our home as well, most of it with baking. But all of us LOVE omelets. My kids love to be able to choose the different options of veggies, meats and cheeses for their omelet.
My kids and I are big fans of scrambled eggs with a little Monterey Jack mixed in, served in mini pitas with diced avocado and a bit of fresh pico de gallo. Yum!
I make breakfast burrito’s for my husband to share with several guys at work….I use 9 eggs every morning…on top of that the kids want waffles…eggs in that recipe…eggs eggs eggs….it’s in EVERYTHING!!! lol…love em!

Thanks!
This may sound strange…but it is delicious! I just LOVE an Egg Salad Melt. It is actually very simple. It’s the same idea as a tuna melt. You simply make a grilled cheese sandwich with an egg salad filling. Thanks!
This may sound boring, but I love an egg (over easy) and ham sandwich on toasted whole wheat! I just received a couple of eggland’s coupons in the mail, which I am happy about b/c they are kinda pricey where I live!
Thanks!
Hard boiled eggs are a favorite in our house. We ALWAYS have them
in the frige and my son will chose an egg over a traditional after school snack anyday. just a squeeze of honey mustard on it and he’s good to go. (I’ve never tried honey mustard on mine, but hey, he likes it)
I love any quiche recipes. And eggs on top of beans and rice. Sounds weird, but it’s good.
My Mom’s Breakfast Casserole that requires nearly a DOZEN eggs! 🙂 Eggs, pork sausage, mont. jack cheese, green chilies, cheddar cheese, milk, oregano, and crescent rolls. YUMMM!!!
I love Scrmbled Eggs. Warm, fluffy Scambled Eggs. They are my go-to comfort food. They are the first thing I learned to make when my Mom was teaching me how to cook.
I LOVE SOUFFLES! CHOCOLATE IS MY FAVORITE! OF COURSE WE ONLY BUY EGGLANDS BEST AND JUST LEARNED MORE BENEFITS!
I just love scrambled eggs (but they can’t be started with butter because then they taste fried) and add milk, cheese and anything else that I want. More like an omelette but soft like scrambled eggs! YUM! 🙂
We love this bacon, cheddar, & egg casserole recipe. It’s one you make ahead of time & let it soak overnight before you bake it. Jenny- we LOVE LOVE LOVE your little broccoli & sausage egg pull apart recipe!!!
I love to make omelets for my kiddos with cheese and ham. They love them. My oldest would eat them even as a baby.
I blogged about it but my blog is private! All my friends see it but you wont be able to see that I did. But I totally did haha

Toasted Three Cheese Bagel Sandwich-
Toast bagel
Spread cream cheese on the lower half of the bagel
Wisk some eggs with a little milk, cinnamon and vanilla (if that is your forte)
Cook them like you are scrambling them but at the end pile together to make one slab and let finish cooking.
Sea salt and pepper to taste
Take it off the pan to let it cool just a bit so it doesn’t melt the cream cheese
Put a large handful of shredded cheddar cheese on your still hot pan. Fry that up until it stays in a slab.
On the lower half of the bagel put 1-2 slices of Havarti cheese
Then your eggs
On top of that your fried cheese.
Sandwich and enjoy!
put croissant dough layer on bottom of 9×13
add layer of cream cheese
add layer of browned breakfast sausage
add layer of 4-6 eggs
finish w/another layer of croissant dough
bake until eggs are done
Breakfast pizza, with eggs, potato, sausage, cheese, cresent roll crust….yum yum.
I love making veggie and cheese frittatas for breakfast, lunch or dinner since it’s easy and fast. I serve mine with home fries or a fruit salad whatever we have on hand.
For the frittata:
6 eggs, beaten with a splash of milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups fresh spinach
1/2 small, red onion, diced
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
I think my favorite is German egg pancakes. There is nothing yummier than the fluffy puffs rolling up and over the sides of the pan. Deeeelish!
Sunshine toast! Get a slice of bread, butter both sides, cut center out with a cookie cutter. put on greaased cookie sheet, remove bread shape, crack raw egg in the void and bake in the oven until egg cooks. Yum!
Huevos Rancheros, this are my most favorite recipe ever!
