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…

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 love eggs. I might have to spend this whole giftcard on eggs.
Migas ala Pioneer Woman.
One of my favorite breakfast dishes is a simple French Toast casserole.
LOVE TO USE ELLLAMD EGGS TO MAKE FRENCH TOAST AMD BREAD PUDDING
I am always in the mood for a good ol’ omelet filled with veggies and cheese or an egg sandwich! I also LOVE baking and most of my baking requires EGGS! Love them!
I love my dad’s 3 minute eggs that he made when we were growing up. He’d boil them that long, and then chop them up with pieces of toast, add in salt and pepper… well, somehow that is my fav breakfast. I never can quite make them as good as he did, but I still try!
My husband and I love huevos rancheros. Sometimes we break them out for dinner too!
To me, eggs benedict are the ultimate egg dish- eggs two ways!
I make a biscuit egg muffin 🙂
I also only use cage free organic egg and LOVE them
I tweeted about the giveaway….

This isn’t very fancy, but it got me through college on a tight budget: breakfast burrito. Sometimes with peppers and sausage and sometimes just eggs with cheese on a tortilla. One of my favorites.
This is a tradition on Christmas morning, but I could eat it year round. Even better the next day!
Christmas Morning Casserole
16 Slices Bread (crusts removed)
1/4 cup Green Pepper (finely chopped)
16 Slices Back Bacon or Ham (cooked)
2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
16 Slices Sharp Cheddar cheese
1 Dash Tabasco Sauce
6 Eggs
1 teaspoon Dry Mustard
1/2 teaspoon Salt
3 cups Milk (whole or 2%)
1/2 teaspoon Pepper
1/4 lb Butter
1/4 cup Onion (minced)
Corn Flakes or Special K (crushed)
In 9 X 13″ buttered baking dish (use a BIG dish), put 8 pieces of bread, Add pieces to cover dish entirely. Cover bread with cooked back bacon slices or ham slices. Lay slices of cheddar cheese on top and then cover with slices of bread (to make it like a sandwich). In a bowl, beat eggs, salt and pepper. To egg mixture, add dry mustard, onion, green pepper, Worcestershire sauce, milk and Tabasco. Pour over the sandwiches. Cover and let it stand in the fridge overnight.
In the morning, preheat oven to 350° F. Melt 1/4 lb butter and pour over top. Cover with crushed Corn Flakes or Special K cereal. Bake 1 hour in 350° F oven. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
I always have a dozen eggs on hand. I use them all the time, but my favorite thing to put them in is definitely dessert. I make great chocolate chip cookies, a variation on Nestle’s famous recipe with the darkest chocolate chips I can find.
One thing that we do with eggs that my very picky 3 year old eats is very simple. Egg salad sandwich. Hard boiled egg cut into small pieces, miracle whip and bread… woolah
Sausage, cheese, and cheesy-egg biscuits for breakfast. 🙂
I love to make Egg in the Hole! It is so delicious! Just cut out the center of a piece of bread. Put bread on greased skillet, then break the egg into the middle of the bread slice. Cook like you would a regular egg, the flip. Enjoy!
Eggland is a great company!
I am drooling! The broccoli, cheddar, sausage, egg muffins look amazing! Everything so delicious wrapped up in a tiny package! I will definitely be making these for breakfast soon!
I have been using egglands best eggs for a few years-they always tasted better and seemed to last better than my store brand. We use them for chicken salad to put on sandwiches, boil and chop the eggs into small bits. Use shredded chicken, mayonaise, sliced grapes, walnuts, the diced eggs, and celery. Serve on a wheat roll. It’s yummy.
I posted a link on my blog for others to come to your website and enter the giveaway! Thanks again for this opportunity!

We go through a lot of eggs in the house. If it was up to a family vote, it would probably be breakfast burritos with scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes and homemade salsa.
My favorite is German Pancakes. My parents have chickens and they make German Pankcakes with all the eggs. So yummy.
love it…
Your recipes look great. I like to make breakfast stratta for special breakfasts. How can you beat eggs, sausage, and cheese all together in teh morning?
almost every morning i use eggs…scrambled w/my most favorite veggies!
Our favorite is Cheese Egg Supreme – eggs, 2 kinds of cheese and green chilies. Here’s the recipe: http://www.recipesformoms.com/2007/08/cheese-egg-supreme.html
I am a Texas Gal so I love MIGAS! In case you don’t know what that is they are scrambled eggs mixed with strips of corn tortilla topped with onions, chile peppers, tomatoes, and cheese. Migas are typically served with refried beans, and flour tortillas are used to roll the migas ingredients into tacos.
YUM!
I love frying up an egg and putting it on a toasted butter croissant with some fresh avocado. Yum!
One of my favorite egg recipes is an egg sandwich. I toast an english muffin, bagel or roll. Then I cook an egg in a skillet (I believe it’s called over easy…not sure)…once the egg is done, I sprinkle some cheese on it and put it on my bread. Then I put a piece of ham in the hot skillet to get all nice and hot. And put it on my sandwich. Yummy!
Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
I am a big fan of this southwestern quiche and it is perfect for brunch! It is a tradition for Christmas morning in our home! Hope you enjoy it!

• 1 tsp. baking powder
• ½ tsp. salt

love love love german pancakes or popeyes in my family.
I love to make German Pancakes, it usually takes a lot of eggs and I love that it puffs up in the 9-13 pan and looks like mountains.
The recipe that i LOVE that I use a lot of eggs in is German Pancakes. SOOOO yummy. I’m excited to try eggland’s best eggs! Anything that adds something healthy to my cooking for my little ones is great! Thanks Jenny!
I love my breakfast cass. in a bundt pan. Take grands biscuit rolls and cut each one into eights. Cook breakfast sauage, I prefer the hot breakfast sausage. Divide 8 eggs in half and 2 cups of cheese divided. Place half the biscuits in pans then half eggs, cheese, and sausage. Repeat. Bake accroding to biscuit direction, it may need a little longer to bake then stated. Just keep checking the eggs.
I use eggs for SOOO many different recipes but my favorite food to use eggs for is definitely an egg sandwich. I’m currently pregnant and it is very nice that I don’t have to travel farther than my kitchen to satisfy my cravings, since eggs and bread are something that you ALWAYS have on hand.
We love to make a German Apple Puff Pancake in my cast iron skillet. It’s mainly butter, flour, a bit of sugar, and about 6 eggs — the eggs are the leavening and give the puff pancake its “rise.” It is yummy covered with cinnamon apples, syrup, and powdered sugar!
Thanks for the chance,
