This is a compensated review by BlogHer and Eggland’s Best.
A few days before Christmas, the kind folks at BlogHer asked if I would be interested in reviewing Eggland’s Best eggs. And that was funny (to me, at least), because I had JUST finished grocery shopping for the ingredients to make my Christmas Egg Casserole. In other words, I was already inadvertently working on the review! Eggcellent! (Get it?!) ((I know you get it.))
For this review, I agreed to prepare three egg recipes. As I mentioned earlier, my first choice was the Christmas Egg Casserole. Because I love to support fellow bloggers and their publishing efforts, my second choice was Stephanie O’Dea’s Mexican Breakfast Casserole (as published in her book “Make it Fast, Cook it Slow”). My third choice? The easiest (and possibly tastiest) egg sandwich you’ll ever make—the Egglish Muffin Sandwich! (I just made that name up! It’s catchy! Kind of!)
Christmas Egg Casserole
Every year on Christmas morning I make the Christmas Egg Casserole, and every year my parents and in-laws go nuts over it. As you can see, the recipe showcases a dozen eggs, along with cheese, milk, and sausage. (The complete recipe may be found here.) I serve the casserole with a side of my mom’s fruit salad and a bit of Apple Cranberry French Toast. It’s my Christmas hat trick, and although I stand firm against the use of the word Scrumptious, well, it’s mighty scrumptious. Mighty scrumptious, indeed.
Mexican Breakfast Casserole
A few weeks ago I purchased a copy of “Make it Fast, Cook it Slow” and it is changing my life. Last month I owned one dusty Crock Pot. Today I own three sparkly new ones—all of which have been used in the past week. When I saw the recipe for Mexican Breakfast Casserole, I knew I had to try it. (To me, Eggs in a Crock Pot sort of rivals Snakes on a Plane. Terrifying.) As the photos show, the Mexican Breakfast Casserole is constructed by layering an egg/vegetable/cheese mixture with corn tortillas, and then cooked on low for six to eight hours in a four-quart Crock Pot.
My parents drove through three inches of snow and cold to eat this casserole with me, and when they entered the house, the smell alone made them forget all about the patches of black ice on the highway. With a spoonful of salsa and some sour cream on top, this was one of the greatest Crock Pot concoctions I’ve ever tasted. Eggs in a Crock Pot! Who knew?! (The complete recipe may be found here.)
Egglish Muffin Sandwich
As you may or may not know, I have a love/hate relationship with Weight Watchers. Currently, I’m loving them. And because I’m once again counting points and focusing on filling foods, I tend to search out low point/high protein solutions. In the world of the Weight Watcher, an egg is two points. And that’s not bad at all. (Be sure to check out Eggland’s pages on Nutritional Benefits and Health and Wellness for additional information.)
Here. Do this:
Place a slice of Canadian bacon in the bottom of a microwaveable measuring cup. Crack an egg on top of it, and bust the yolk. Add salt and pepper if you want. Cover lightly and microwave for 60-90 seconds. Meanwhile, toast an English muffin and place a slice of cheese on one of the halves. When your egg/bacon bell dings, remove it from the microwave, spoon it all out, and place it on the cheese half of the English muffin. Put the other half of the muffin on top, squeeze lightly, and there you go. If you played your cards right with low fat ingredients, you’ve just created a five point sandwich that’s high in protein and calcium. And it’s just as good as anything you might purchase at a fast food dump, if you know what I’m saying.
So, tell me. What is your favorite egg recipe? Do you prefer your eggs scrambled or fried? Do you let your kids eat a spoonful of cookie dough if there are raw eggs mixed in? Eggspress yourself in the comments below, and on February 8th, the random number generator will choose someone to win a $100 Visa gift card as well as Six Months Worth of Eggs. How eggciting is that?! (Disclaimer: No one asked me to go crazy with the egg language. I’m simply a big eggstroverted when it comes to these things…)

Breakfast burritos are my favorite way to eat eggs.
2 Wendy // Jan 18, 2010 at 11:38 am
I wish to kick you for all of your egg-words. Not hard, though. Don’t worry.
I’m going the breakfast burrito route, too! Especially when camping and it ends up as hangover food.
3 joaaanna // Jan 18, 2010 at 11:46 am
Although I rarely fix it, custard is my FAVORITE!
More often than not, my eggs come in the form of fried, over-medium.
4 Nichole // Jan 18, 2010 at 11:58 am
My favorite way to eat eggs are over-medium with toast. Or in huevos rancheros. Definitely not scrambled.
5 Rebecca // Jan 18, 2010 at 11:59 am
We eat alot alot of eggs. One of my favorite meals is “Eggs with tortilla on the bottom” or “Huevos Montados”. Basically a sunny side up egg on top of a fried corn tortilla. Its bad for you but just delicous when served with salsa and black beans.
6 k's grandma // Jan 18, 2010 at 12:04 pm
Eggs are a staple here! In the land of I-hardly-ever-cook-anymore, I cannot imagine life without eggs. Just sayin’.
7 Carroll // Jan 18, 2010 at 12:07 pm
Deviled eggs are a definite fave around here. Sometimes I make them with curry powder and a dab of chutney on top. Sometimes with bacon and spinach in the filling mix. Always very yummy!
8 Meagan // Jan 18, 2010 at 12:22 pm
Hard boiled and in a salad. Do you know the magical way to hard boil eggs? I do. I did not always but I learned it recently and it IS magical. They are done perfectly every time – cooked all the way through but not overcooked to where you get that awful grey layer around the yolk. (Grey eggs = no thank you.)
Here is what you do. Put your eggs in water just enough to cover and bring to a boil. As soon as they boil turn them off, put a lid on it, and just leave them alone in there for 20 minutes. I know, it seems like a long time, but really, is 20 minutes so very long to wait for magic? I think not.
After 20 minutes pour out the hot water and fill the pan with cold to stop the cooking. Voila! Perfectly hard boiled eggs.
9 katrina // Jan 18, 2010 at 12:26 pm
breakfast burritos definitely.
or egg sammys. egg bagel sausage and cheese. hello, gorgeous.
10 Jennifer Krieger // Jan 18, 2010 at 12:39 pm
I’m currently on a scrambled egg kick. And I prefer not to mix up the eggs before I pour them in the pan; I just melt the butter and crack the eggs in the pan and let them fry justalittlebit and then I scramble them. You get a little differentiation between the yellow and white parts that way.
And yes, I let my kids eat raw cooky dough – damn the raw eggs, full speed ahead!

Oh man, Smitten Kitchen had a recipe for he best spinach and cheese strata. So so delicious:

12 Kristen // Jan 18, 2010 at 1:31 pm
My husband makes the greatest egg sammich. I can never manage to duplicate the deliciousness, no matter how much hot sauce I dump on.
13 Amy in KC // Jan 18, 2010 at 2:17 pm
I am currently pregnant (12 weeks), and I crave eggs all day long. I love egg breakfast casserole, and since it’s easy to re-heat at work, I have been making one every Sunday for the past few weeks and bringing hunks of it with me to eat throughout the day.
I also love quiche! So I’ll go with breakfast casserole and quiche. Oh! And also scrambled. And at restaurants I love vegetarian omelettes. Did I mention the cravings? Six months of free eggs would be lovely right now!
14 April // Jan 18, 2010 at 2:26 pm
Hard boiled in a salad or scrambled in a breakfast burrito. I love eggs! Your breakfast casserole looks scrumptious.
15 Krissy // Jan 18, 2010 at 3:27 pm
I eat eggs almost everyday! Usually in the form of a breakfast sandwich… purchased from the Bread Co. Mhmmm, you’re making me hungry…
16 beyond // Jan 18, 2010 at 3:28 pm
i like eggs benedict. or any kind of eggs with bacon. i also really enjoy a simple fried egg over medium.
17 Darren // Jan 18, 2010 at 3:29 pm
I’m a big fan of custard. Bread pudding is my speciality. Loads of eggs, cream and sugar makes me very happy indeed.
18 christine // Jan 18, 2010 at 4:06 pm
strata is our Christmas tradition – it’s your christmas egg casserole with bread in it. I love flan or custard. and breakfast sandwiches with ham/cheese/scrambled eggs are great. (and egglands best are my favorites, when I’m not buying eggs at the local farmers market.)
19 Cheryl in AL // Jan 18, 2010 at 4:29 pm
As a rule I don’t eat eggs as eggs. I make a mean omlete for my husband and I love to cook with them though. If only I had more people to feed the Christmas egg casserole looks like it would be a hit.
20 Stephanie // Jan 18, 2010 at 5:18 pm
Egg sandwich with sausage and fake cheese on an English muffin. It’s the only way to eat eggs. And really the only way to eat fake cheese. I’m talkin American slices. So gooey and delicious. And so fake.
21 CharlieSue // Jan 18, 2010 at 5:21 pm
Deviled eggs. Hard boiled with a sprinkle of salt. Scrambled hard. Simple egg salad with just mayonnaise on soft bread.
I LOVE eggs. :)
22 Dooley // Jan 18, 2010 at 6:44 pm
Two, over hard in a touch of butter (otherwise known in my household as ‘plastic eggs’).
23 Emily J // Jan 18, 2010 at 6:47 pm
Easy – basil cream cheese eggs (okay, that’s more of a descriptor than a name). My sister had these somewhere and we reverse engineered them:
Beat eggs, then mix with pats of cream cheese. The ratio is pretty loose, but use full fat cream cheese because the low fat kind melts weird. I’d say I use about the amount of cream cheese that would generously cover one bagel per 3-4 eggs. Also chiffonade some basil and stir that in. I like a lot, but I’d say at least 5-6 large leaves per 3-4 eggs. Scramble the eggs per your preference (I like to scramble them over slightly higher heat for the “large curd” variety, but you can do the low and slow with lots of stirring method, too). S&P to taste. Also, butter and grill a couple of good bagels. We like plain or everything bagels with this. Serve the eggs over the bagels. Delicious!
One caveat: melted cream cheese can be mistaken for uncooked eggs, so keep an eye on what you’re doing, and don’t overcook the eggs thinking they are still raw when it’s just the cream cheese.
24 Mitzi // Jan 18, 2010 at 7:32 pm
My VERY favorite way to use eggs is for meringue on top of pies. 5 egg whites, cream of tartar, a small amount of sugar (I have also used Splenda and it is great for those who are avoiding sugar), put into a mixer and beaten until they are at the “stiff peaks”stage and you have beautiful meringue!
I also use eggs for making omelets for my hubby on the weekends. His favorite would be the Denver or something with a bunch of veggie’s and some type of protein.
I am also usually asked to make deviled eggs when I help out at church with catering a funeral luncheon.
On average, we go through at least 4 dozen eggs per month.
25 Corinne // Jan 18, 2010 at 7:52 pm
Scrambled, by my husband. Dude doesn’t cook at all – except the best scrambled eggs in the world.
26 Donna // Jan 18, 2010 at 8:14 pm
My favorite way to eat eggs is either scrambled or poached and served over a nice thick slab of polenta. Top with fresh salsa and a little sour cream and you have a yummy breakfast or dinner.
27 Carrie // Jan 18, 2010 at 8:44 pm
Love eggs! I’m on weight watchers (hate it, but it works) and tend to eat a lot of hard boiled egg whites for a high protein- low fat option. Better, though are scrambled eggs with dill and bacon. Yum!
28 Maren M. // Jan 18, 2010 at 9:07 pm
We LOVE eggs in our home. Cheap, healthy protein! Our favorite is scrambled, with a good dollop of sour cream whipped in and fresh chives sprinkled on top. Heaven.
29 Neena // Jan 18, 2010 at 9:10 pm
Egg salad sandwiches! I’m 4 months pregnant and I swear I can eat them all day, every day!
30 marianne // Jan 18, 2010 at 9:12 pm
Crustless quiche! Leftover and cold eaten while I’m driving to work. Mmmm. And I only buy Egglands.
31 Ashley in MD // Jan 18, 2010 at 9:27 pm
I love chillaquiles: Mexican-style eggs with salsa and cheese and corn tortilla strips mixed in. Yum, yum, yum!
Also, I totally eat cookie dough even if it has raw eggs in it! I don’t have kids yet, so I’m not sure if I’ll let them do the same.

33 Megan // Jan 19, 2010 at 1:53 am
Egg Megs! (Short for Egg Meg-Muffin — instead of Egg McMuffin) Basically an English Muffin Sandwich — with sausage and sun-drieds if we’re feeling crazy.
34 Terry // Jan 19, 2010 at 9:03 am
My family favorite and weekend tradition is to make omelets. We slice and chop lots of meats and veggies and everyone chooses their favorites to get STUFFED into the omelet.
35 Lori // Jan 19, 2010 at 9:18 am
My favorite egg recipe: secret family recipe “Pepperoni Cheese Eggs”. Use your imagination because I can’t share the secret. They are so special and yummy!
Cookie dough-schmookie dough, absolutely eat the cookie dough!
Thanks for the recipes! Can’t wait to try them!!
36 Milissa Burdette // Jan 19, 2010 at 9:27 am
I absolutely love “Creamed Eggs on Toast”….I don’t know if the recipe can be found online, but it is hard boiled eggs, sliced and mixed into a white cream sauce and served over toast. YUM, YUM! Even my very picky husband devours it!
37 Tara // Jan 19, 2010 at 9:29 am
My favorite egg recipe is DEFINITELY the casserole! I make a similar one on Christmas morning and really should make it more often. It’s so easy! (Though, I’ll be trying your recipe next – looks “scrumptious!”)
Yes, my children and I all eat the cookie dough!!!
38 birdie // Jan 19, 2010 at 10:56 am
We eat a TON of eggs at our house- burritos, cheesy scrambled eggs, quiches, toad in the hole (holla!)…eggs are kind of our go to easy meal. And they are affordable- I can buy a dozen organic eggs and still be saving money compared to buying just one lb. of ground beef.
Thanks alot, now I’m hungry.
39 mary // Jan 19, 2010 at 11:05 am
I love some scrambled egg breakfast burritos! mmm…eggs.
40 NoOneOfConsequence // Jan 19, 2010 at 11:08 am
Raw Chocolate Chip Cookie dough for the kids? Only if they can fight past me to get is :-).
We do Breakfast Burritos, Omelets, and Egg Sandwiches — with a runny yellow so it makes a mess while you eat it.
41 Angela // Jan 19, 2010 at 11:09 am
I love my eggs over-easy with a side of goetta and buttered toast. Does anyone know what goetta is? It is manna from heaven. At least I think so :)

Oh, I LOVE eggs. I just finished an egg sandwich moments ago. Probably my favorite egg thing is a sausage and mushroom omelette.
46 L // Jan 19, 2010 at 12:46 pm
I am a recent convert to fried eggs. I used to only eat eggs if they were scrambled (or omelets). Basically, if they looked like eggs I was against them. But now I eat silly amounts of fried eggs! I dip toast in them, have them with spinach, tomatoes, on toast, on sandwiches, huevos rancheros, any way I can get them I love them!
47 Laura // Jan 19, 2010 at 1:00 pm
Hard boiled eggs are my current fave, but really…any eggs are great! Breakfast tacos, egg salad, fried eggs with buttered toast, scrambled eggs with chives and cream cheese, custard…oh yes… :)
48 Dawn J. // Jan 19, 2010 at 2:03 pm
My favorite serving of eggs is egg nog. :) For eating, I love huevos rancheros, eggs over easy not up.

53 sarah // Jan 20, 2010 at 2:43 pm
I have just learned to poach eggs in sauce, so very very delicious.
Plus fried eggs and a really good piece of bread is hard to beat.
54 Stephanie // Jan 20, 2010 at 4:10 pm
My French grandmother used to make the best scrambled eggs on the planet. I have learned that it is because she put copious amounts of butter in them. Butter, eggs and a little bit of sopping toast.
Best thing ever!
55 but Momma // Jan 20, 2010 at 7:44 pm
I’m a fan of the egg! I also feel healthy and holier than thou when I buy EB’s. I’m currently feeding my kids lot’s of quiche, because it’s easy and they think it’s pie. :)
56 lauren // Jan 21, 2010 at 1:57 pm
Eggs are the best, quick, go-to protein. Eat only the white and they are very low calorie/fat. I have them on hand all the time and make them hard boiled, swirled into brown rice w/hot sauce (my own fried rice recipe), and poached. My mo-in-law gave me a wonderful old italian recipe for chicken soup w/escarole or spinach and egg dropped in for extra interest. Hubby and daughter eat it too, so bonus! love,love,love eggs.
57 Knighton // Jan 21, 2010 at 2:23 pm
We eat a lot of eggs at my house. Current favorite is similar to your Egg Muffin, but cooked in a skillet, with yummy, yummy butter. Egg over easy so the yolk drips down your wrist while you eat. **drool**
58 Ani // Jan 21, 2010 at 3:52 pm
We go through a lot of eggs here, as I try to protein up my boys before I send them to school. IMHO that’s much nicer to the teacher than hopping them up on Frosted Flakes.
My ever-loving favorite remains egg salad sandwich, on 12-grain bread, with no crusts. YUM
59 Shelly // Jan 21, 2010 at 7:33 pm
This is eggciting, I hope I win! We love some eggs up in here! Deviled Eggs are one of my specialties!

Moonstruck Eggs! If you’ve ever seen the movie “Moonstruck”, you might remember the mom (played by Olympia Dukakis) made the eggs this way.
Recipe:
Take some good Italian bread, make a hole in the middle.
Pour a little olive oil in a pan and brown one side of bread, flip it over when browned, crack your eggs in it, and cook them sunnyside up.
In the movie they had red peppers on the side.

65 Harriet M. Welsch // Jan 22, 2010 at 12:33 pm
Strata made with artichoke hearts, prosciutto, goat cheese and fresh herbs. It is making me drool just thinking about it.
66 Jill // Jan 22, 2010 at 12:34 pm
Oh, I do love a good deviled egg. Although a friend introduced me to a similar (and delicious) breakfast sandwich. Spread cream cheese on a toasted English muffin and top with a fried egg and bacon. YUMMY.
67 erika // Jan 22, 2010 at 1:11 pm
It’s a tie between Huevos Rancheros and breakfast burritos with a creamy garlic sauce.
68 Alyce // Jan 22, 2010 at 1:18 pm
I prefer my eggs over easy, and with buttered and jammed toast alongside. But JB loves scrambled, so that’s the way we eat them most often.
We’ve been sick since Christmas, and bland/easy on the stomach foods are winning out, so we’ve gone thru a few dozen. It’s an eggapallooza around here.
69 Deanna // Jan 22, 2010 at 1:47 pm
I’ve recently discovered that you can bake eggs! Spray a muffin tin with butter flavored non-stick spray and crack your egg (or two, or three) into the muffin cup(s). Sprinkle the top of the eggs with seasoning salt and a little shredded cheese. Bake at 300 for about 25 minutes! So easy and actually good for you too!
70 Ryan Elizabeth // Jan 22, 2010 at 2:09 pm
I love poached eggs on a bed of sauteed spinach (with garlic!), or in a pool of spicy greek yogurt. Unless I’m in Austin, and then it’s breafast tacos all the way!!
71 Ellen // Jan 22, 2010 at 2:54 pm
I love an egg sandwich recipe that my husband brought home from work. Toast two pieces of bread, any kind. Spread grape jelly on one piece, put one slice american cheese and one or two slices of ham on the other. Fry up an egg, and place it on the ham/cheese/toast, top with the other piece of toast, and voila! It may not sound tasty, but it is!
72 Jane // Jan 22, 2010 at 3:05 pm
We saw an easy microwave scrambled egg in a mug recipe from the Missouri Egg Board/Council that my son makes all the time. It’s so much easier than getting out a pan and cleaner, too.
73 Joan Berntson // Jan 22, 2010 at 3:27 pm
My husband made a quiche when we were dating that is so so wonderful. Not at all weight watcher friendly though. It is made with bisquick and eggs and cheese and butter and bacon. Ya, I know, Dr. Atkins would love it.
74 Teri // Jan 22, 2010 at 4:26 pm
I love eggs, but not at restaurants. They cook them too hard or in bacon grease or both. I like scrambled eggs cooked in butter, slowly, so they’re soft, kind of sloppy. And quiche and egg salad and all the good things. I also make a blender of ramos fizzes on Christmas morning that include gin and raw eggs and cream and sugar. (If you buy pasteurized eggs, you can eat them raw.)
75 Sarah // Jan 22, 2010 at 4:29 pm
I’m not much of a cook but I can make a killer sausage biscuits with gravy. If you throw an over easy egg on the top of that mess it is one of the tastiest things you’ll ever eat.
76 Suebob // Jan 22, 2010 at 11:48 pm
Wow, six months worth of eggs is, for me…one dozen eggs. Well, you have to buy them buy the dozen, so I eat about 6 and toss the other 6 when they turn to glue. Eggs last a long time!
I make a tortilla espanola that is pretty good. About once every six months.
77 Jo Anna // Jan 23, 2010 at 11:42 am
I love scrambled eggs with swiss. Does french toast count…because I love that too.
78 Gina // Jan 24, 2010 at 9:30 pm
#1. My mom made us olive-and-egg sandwiches when we were little. Try it! Use a little can of chopped olives and mix it into your cooked, chopped egg mixture.
#2. Scrambled.
#3. Yes. But not too much.
79 Adventures of Alice // Jan 25, 2010 at 12:03 pm
I love very slowly scrambled eggs and poached eggs on toast–with a drizzle of real hollandaise sauce! I always eat raw cookie dough = )
80 Amy K. // Jan 25, 2010 at 12:31 pm
The casseroles look great. My grandmother makes a “breakfast quiche” at Easter that’s in the same vein as the Mexican Breakfast Casserole but with white bread rather than corn tortillas- and now you have me wondering if it could be made in the crockpot. It would probably be an easy conversion.
81 Tiffany // Jan 25, 2010 at 2:14 pm
I too have a magical egg casserole that never fails to please weekend visitors. It is so easy to make that I almost feel bad accepting compliments. Almost.

83 kimblahg // Jan 25, 2010 at 10:24 pm
I do, in fact, live dangerously and let the kids eat cookie dough with raw eggs in it. Knock on wood, no one has caught salmonella. I also love egg breakfast sandwiches and will be making the english muffin recipe.
84 Lynn @ human, being // Jan 26, 2010 at 12:41 am
I ate enough raw cookie dough as a teenager–OK, who am I kidding, last week–to be a walking case of salmonella. Oh, well.
My favorite egg recipe is simple scrambled eggs with some garlic powder, salt, pepper, sliced grape tomatoes and sauteed spinach. I eat this almost every morning. Dee lish and simple.
My other favorite egg recipe is my grandmother’s “secret” deviled eggs. She later confessed that there’s no secret in the recipe, she just wanted people to think she was cool for having a secret recipe.
85 Leslie // Jan 26, 2010 at 2:25 am

Deviled eggs! No contest. Simple ones, with mayo, onion and a teensy bit of mustard.

90 Sara // Jan 26, 2010 at 1:05 pm
I love eggs, they’re such an easy protein to add to a meal. Frequently I’ll trhow a fried egg over the top of a dish and call it a day (try it with pasta with tomato sauce – yum). My favorite things to do with eggs though are fry them up and throw them on top of a tater tot skillet (tater tots, sauted with any veggies I can find).
91 Michelle // Jan 26, 2010 at 2:02 pm
I like them simple, scrambled with a little shredded cheddar thrown in.
92 JustLinda // Jan 26, 2010 at 2:51 pm
I also do the egg-casserole for Christmas breakfast! I have no hatrick. I only have 2 things I make, so I don’t know what that’s called.
Anyway, I’ve tried several casserole recipes but the one we made last month was the biggest hit so far! I’ll link the recipe, but I first have to say that we adapted it to a full casserole and doctored the ingredients a bit. The new aspect of this one was the hashbrown CRUST. Yes! Could anything be better::

perfectly poached with really really buttery toast. OR scrambled with cheese. My mom used to make us breakfast “shakes” with raw eggs, milk and sugar. we survived.

I prefer over medium eggs, whites completely cooked and yolk still a little runny, restaurants have no idea how to do this so I only have it at home. I try to convince my boy it is ok for him to eat raw cookie dough but he is a worry wart and certain he will die! (thank you hubby)

mmm eggs! ok when I was a kid I used to love my dad’s jelly omelets (the only thing he ever cooked) but now I love shirred eggs–so easy! preheat the oven to 300, warm up the ramekins with a pat of butter in each one, throw some fresh herbs in the ramekin and crack one egg over it, then pop it in the oven (all sitting on a cookie sheet) for 8-9 minutes. delish! serve with toast.

Over easy is my favorite. But another different one is using eggs to make fried matzo.

I like to keep things simple. Toad in the Hole is my favorite way to eat eggs.

Saute garlic and fresh spinach; add 2 eggs and scramble. Serve with grated Parmasan. If you need this to be an even more protieny meal, add some cottage cheese (of all things) before the eggs. It’s really delicious.

I just love a good over easy egg with sourdough toast. It doesn’t get better than that.
100 Stefanie // Jan 30, 2010 at 9:36 pm
I love clafouti… I’ve got a huge sweet tooth and the eggy texture (it’s eggier than a flan) is delicious in dessert!
101 Rachel // Jan 31, 2010 at 1:19 am
I’ve been loving eggs fried in a little bit of olive oil and covered in far too many seasonings, with a side of wilted spinach.
102 Melissa // Jan 31, 2010 at 4:14 pm
My favorite breakfast, perhaps even my favorite meal, is comprised of two eggs, over easy, hash browns, bacon and toast.

When I was little my dad would make breakfast burritos for us. Eggs scrambled with bacon and cheese, served up on a flour tortilla. YUM. He’d wrap them up in a paper towel and they’d keep our hands warm as we made our way to the bus stop. (we lived in the middle of no where, the bus stop was about 1/2 mile walk away. those burritos were life savers on cold mornings!)

I heart eggs. They are the defining ingredient on my favorite burger, in the best colcannon and they are about the only form of protein my 2 year old will eat. I super heart eggs. And yes my daughter eats as much raw cookie dough/pancake batter as she would like.
105 Aimee W. // Feb 4, 2010 at 2:18 am
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!

I like my eggs over medium, scrambled with cheese, hard boiled, egg salad, you name it. The only thing I don’t like is when they’re drippy. Ick! Also – raw cookie dough is a gift from the gods. And the chances of getting some foul bug are rather low. Especially if you use local eggs. :)
108 Heather // Feb 4, 2010 at 7:54 am
After 2 years of “home grown” eggs, we find ourselves having to buy them at the store again. Now the lovingly nicknamed “Last Chicken Standing” has started laying again and gave us a beautiful brown egg the other day. She’s hen-credible!
We eat eggs any way we can get them: fried, scrambled, poached, hard-boiled…love them.
109 ailikate // Feb 4, 2010 at 8:15 am
I like what we called bird’s nest as kids, and my daughter has named eggs and bread. Cut a hole in the center of a piece of bread, melt a little butter in your pan, put the bread in the pan and break an egg in the hole. Cook to the level of yolk doneness you like. It’s particularly good with a little maple syrup. Of course, when we were little we would beg my mom for mini-marshmallows for “bird’s eggs” and she would let us have them. Now it sounds totally gross.

I have been craving eggs something fierce lately, I think Easter needs to come early this year. I love ‘em all sorts of ways – scrambled, fried, veggie omeletized, in casseroles with potatoes. My husband loves his egg sandwiches – basically a fried egg on toast. Mid-winter when I stop caring about calories and just want to be warm (about now) I like to make a breakfast polenta with an egg cooked in it, and grated parmesan on top. Mmmm… off to the kitchen!
111 Michelle // Feb 4, 2010 at 11:30 am
I all the things you posted. AND we use EB eggs every week! Eggs and …?…remain our back-up dinner for any weeknight that goes haywire as they’re inexpensive, protein-filled, kid-approved & on the table in 10 mins or less. Hurrah!
Thanks for the give-away!!
112 diana // Feb 4, 2010 at 12:31 pm
also on weight watchers and loving eggs! for some reason i love egg salad these days, use one HB egg and one HB egg white, its the perfect amount for one sandwich. a little lf mayo, mustard, salt, pepper, dill, YUM.
113 elsimom // Feb 4, 2010 at 3:42 pm
French toast, omelettes, egg sandwiches, strata. Strangely, I didn’t like eggs when I was a child – but I’ve made up for it as an adult. Also – SO SATISFYING – never hungry before lunch if I have some eggy goodness for breakfast.
Also – EB are very good eggs and we would EAT THEM UP!
114 Lisa // Feb 4, 2010 at 4:47 pm
huevos rancheros would be number one but my fall back is a simple fried egg sandwich with mayo and tomato. I prefer fried but when I’m making breakfast for the family I just do a big batch of scrambled. And yes, me and my younguns eat batter and dough raw with eggs. As a kid I would eat soft boiled eggs with strips of toast to dip in the yoke. yum
115 MsCellania // Feb 4, 2010 at 11:57 pm
My favorite may be deviled eggs. Second favorite are my perfectly fried over-medium eggs. Third favorite are poached. My sons like eggs scrambled with sauteed onions. We eat eggs every day, as the Daddy is vegetarian and eggs are kind of our ‘meat’. We must go through 2 dozen a week, at least, for the 4 of us. I use double the amount called for in waffles, crepes, pancakes.
116 Mizmell // Feb 5, 2010 at 8:02 am
While I enjoy a good ham and cheese omelet, the best use of eggs is a quiche. Here’s my favorite recipe: http://mizmell-food4thought.blogspot.com/2008/12/broccoli-ham-quiche.html

Heck ya! Bring on the salmonella! I am all about raw cookie dough.
That there english muffin egg sammy looks TASTY! I never thought about cooking the meat and egg together. Nice time saver tip, too!

A perfectly poached egg makes me happy, turn it into eggs Benedict with hollandaise and I’m eggstatic!

My mom called it Breakfast on a bun. It’s scrambled eggs, a slice of cheese, & a slice of cooked ham on toasted hamburger buns. Very yummy!

We are making a yummy egg salad for lunch – with lettuce and bacon slices on whole wheat. With a little bit of honey mustard dressing on the bread. SO GOOD!
128 sarahbeanne // Feb 8, 2010 at 5:40 pm
Oh yes, we eat the raw homemade dough. There are so few vices left anymore, I will not give that one up.
I’m a busy girl & like my eggs hard boiled, although those casseroles look awesome.

I’m a huge Eggs Benedict person. It’s just delicious!
131 Mindi // Feb 10, 2010 at 11:03 am
Eggs… Yummy. Raw eggs in cookie dough? Not nearly scary enough to keep me from eating it (or letting my kids have a bite or two). Personal preference? Spinach, mushroom and cheese omelet or over easy with toast to dip in the yolk.
132 Carolie // Feb 12, 2010 at 10:33 pm
I love eggs in all ways, shapes and forms — especially quiches and breakfast casseroles and souffles. But I guess my favorite is a sandwich of an over-easy egg on toast with a thin scraping of mayo, a VERY thin piece of swiss cheese and a sprinkle of garlic powder, where one has to bend over the plate as the golden yolk runs all over the place. Mmmmmm…
133 Jill Hayes // Feb 20, 2010 at 3:34 am
I love eggs in omelettes and made up into deviled eggs.
