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! 
We love eggs at our house. During the week, just scrambled with some ham and cheese. Quick and easy. On the weekends German Pancakes are a hit around here.
those look amazing!
My latest breakfast favorite is just the regular scrambled eggs, except I add in about a cup of salsa to the mix. Now I can’t eat plain eggs!
Linking to a few recipes but the first one that came to mind for eggs is breakfast burritos. I make them in bulk and freeze them and microwave them in the morning for breakfast.

And then 2 more recipes Orange Butter Cake and my favorite brownie recipe…

My FAVORITE recipe with eggs in it is German Pancakes! My Mom has made them for as long as I can remember!! Once I got married and started my family I decided they were going to be a staple in our home. They are and my kids and hubby them!
Thanks for this opportunity! I hope I win! (Fingers crossed!)
🙂

I meant to put my kids and hubby love them!! 🙂
I love eggs! My favorite egg recipe is just hard-boiled, but you have to eat it while it is hot (just cooked) and sprinkle it with Franks Red Hot and salt and pepper!! OMG!!
My favorite egg dish is Giada’s mini frittatas that I can just throw in a mini-muffin dish in the morning. Delicious!
My answer would have to be German pancakes! Also, I recently tried Eggland’s Best and loved them!
I love eggs!!! We almost always have a breakfast night and eggs are the staple- My fav is breakfast burritos with everything but the kitchen sink. . .Anything in the fridge goes- I’ll try anything once!
I loved deviled eggs… and Mexican Brownies (named that for the mexican vailla of course) Some of my friends like to refer to them as chocolate butter…. nummy!
Quiche or devilled eggs are favorites of our family.
I would have to say my favorite use for eggs is in breakfast burritos! My husband and I have them for dinner at least once a week, they are hearty, fairly healthy & delicious!
We like my mother-in-law’s quiche recipe, in fact we just made it the other night. It has full-size hashbrowns on the bottom that are baked and then covered with layers of cheeses and ham and then it has an egg mixture poured over top. We eat it for dinner!
Mmm, I love a goat cheese and spinach fritata with onions and peppers!
We’re pretty simple in this family. We love egg white sandwiches with turkey bacon and cheese on Fiber One Whole Wheat english muffins. I also make a very yummy quiche with pancetta, shallots, and cheddar. MMMMM!!!
We really do love eggs.

I love to make quiche! its my favorite egg recipe
I use a couple of dozen eggs a week, and there’s only 2 of us in the household! I have got to try Eggland’s Best–your description of their quality is enticing!
I make mine scrambled with dry ranch dressing as seasoning, served with grated cheese, and avocado slices.
I love hard boiled eggs on a Cobb salad or shrimp salad. Yum!
Frittata! Scrambled eggs, cheese, pepperoni, onions, potatoes, pepers. ::sigh:: I could go for a bowl right now.
One of our favorites is a sausage and egg casserole. Layers of bread cubes, shredded cheese, mushrooms, and tomatoes, topped with 10 beaten eggs. Very tasty brunch dish!
Quiche is my favorite thing to do with eggs. Eggs, spinach, cheese, milk, salt and pepper all poured into a pie crust and I have breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Eggs are awesome!
We love to have hard boil eggs in the refridge at all times. One of our other favorite things are swedish meatballs which call for 2 eggs and a yolk.
My favorite dessert is a french dessert called Far Breton. Basically it is a custard with rum soaked raisins and prunes.
Eggs Benedict with a side of steams asparagus. I love eggs and have to tell myself I can’t eat them for every meal every day!
Lately I have been boiling a lot of eggs for my little one. He loves them! I also love to make all kinds of cookies which require an egg or two! thanks for the give-away!
My favorite way to eat eggs is scrambled, so I’m always adding this or that to them. ranchero scrambled eggs evolved from this & while this recipe isn’t totally mine I still love it & its quick & simple. Scrambled eggs, monterrey jack cheese (or whatever cheese you have) & salsa.
I like them scrambled… pretty boring eh?
I think the best thing to do with Eggs is make French Toast. It could be baked french toast (you know, the kind that you let sit overnight in the fridge and then just throw it in the oven the next morning) or plain old dip and put on the grill!
So this isn’t a traditional “egg” dish, but one of my favorite things to do with eggs is actually to make meringues and experiment with the different flavors and uses possible. It works great with some frostings and of course PIE!
I love to make homemade PUMPKIN PANCAKES!!!!!!!!! They are SOOO delicious when you use fresh Eggland’s Best Eggs and wheat flour along with fresh or canned pumpkin! Mmmm! I also have a recipe for cinnamon maple syrup that tops them off PERFECTLY!!!
Man… I want some right now!!!!
I make a frittata at least once a week. I can use up all the veggies and little pieces of cheese that are lurking in the fridge, and they are great for breakfast, lunch and dinner too!
In our house, we LOVE our scrambled eggs. Add red onions, fresh spinach, green peppers and some cheese and it’s YUMMY!
I love a good quiche!! My favorite is Spinach and bacon.
A few time a year, I have to make good old fashioned egg salad too!! Yumm!
I love Paula Deen’s Baked French Toast with Raspberry Syrup:

I love cheesy eggs with velveeta cheese. I grew up eating them and still love them to this day! When I was pregnant it was one of the only things i’d eat in the mornings!
