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…

We love German pancakes (aka puff oven pancakes) with orange sauce. My boys ask for it all the time and I’m more than willing to make them. Yumm.
Love your blog!
I love making egg sandwiches with turkey lunch meat. We also love to make breakfast burritos; eggs, cheese, turkey bacon, & hashbrowns…yuuummm 😉
my little boys love scrambled eggs with cheese for breakfast almost every morning!
My fiance’s mom makes the best omelets I’ve ever had… she worked in a diner and is a pro! My favorite is when she makes them full of ham and cheese and green peppers. Yummmm. 🙂
We love eggs at my house. My Grandbabies always want them every time they come over. Over Easy, Scrambled, etc. So we cook and use alot of eggs. My favorite thing to make with eggs is Pastry Cream. Love that stuff. My husbands favorite is Ice Cream, and I make all our ice cream homemade! Yum!
My husband and girls eat omelets EVERY morning. Me? I prefer hard boiled egg white…yummy!
The thing I make most often with eggs is just plain old scrambled eggs. I leave the yolk out and scramble the whites with pepper and salt and a tiny bit of milk–love it. I am excited to try Eggland’s Best next time I make them!
One-eyed monsters!! 🙂 (bread with egg in the hole…a.k.a egg in a basket)
I love breakfast casserole.
I’m pretty simple… soft boiled eggs or deviled eggs
I’m pretty simple–I love having my eggs sunny-side up on a piece of warm toast. Mmm!
My favorite thing is a good ol’ breakfast sandwich with egg, cheese and bacon on toasted bagel or bread. YUM!
Dorie Greenspan’s Tall and Creamy Cheesecake is my favorite recipe using eggs!
While I love love love a quiche, I practically live on homemade breakfast sandwiches.
Breakfast burritos! Especially from my hometown ABQ,NM where the green chile is plentiful!
I LOVE Egglands Best and have been using them for years. My husband, who is a chef, insists on having them in the house. They are best, in my humble opinion, ANY WAY. Soft boiled, fried, poached…I do not use them in baking since you don’t taste egg but you cannot beat the taste when you are having eggs!
Wow! Lots of gourmet readers. My family is happy to just have eggs for breakfast, although sometimes for a treat we have them for dinner with some turkey bacon and cheese.
Every Christmas morning, my mom makes an egg-bake casserole. It is made with sausage, cheese, bread and eggs. My entire family loves it!
My favorite egg recipe calls for ALOT of eggs. It is an egg bake with sausage and cream and cheese. You put in 18 eggs. Pour the cream over the top and it turns into a custard when it bakes. Yum!!

My favorite food to make with eggs is plain scrambled eggs. My husband makes them with milk and they come out nice and fluffy.
I know it sounds easy, but I make a mean Eggs Benedict. To poach an egg perfectly takes patience and skill. I also make my hollandaise sauce from scratch and serve it over a toasted sourdough round, applewood smoked bacon, and that perfect poached egg. My husband loves when I serve this for breakfast!
My favorite might be deviled eggs — LOVE them. I like to sprinkle a little curry powder on mine. Also, I love scrambled eggs with a little olive oil and brown sugar mixed in. It sounds weird, but someone I knew made them for us once, and they were REALLY good.
my favorite is egg salad my mom made this all the time when we was kids,also deviled eggs are really good too.got to love eggs
We love egglands best! We make scrambled eggs and cut up veggies. The favorite veggies are peppers: red, green, yellow and CELERY! try it is so good! thanks for the giveaway!
my favorite egg recipe is a simple flan recipe that my aunt taught me a couple years ago. all you need are 4 eggs, condensed milk, evaporated milk, and sugar and you’re set 😀

Eggs are delicious!
my favorite recipe with eggs is simple. Scrambled eggs with cheese on a bagel. Yum!
Deviled eggs! I love deviled eggs!
We love pletta. The main ingredient in pletta is eggs. Pletta is tiny little crepe like pancakes that are cooked in a pletta pan. We eat them with powdered sugar drizzled with lemon or lime juice. So yummy. Our kids friends like sleeping over cause they know they will get pletta in the morning.
