I recently had the pleasure of gathering a few friends and neighbors together for a casual, multi-generational brunch playdate. Everyone sampled a variety of dishes made with Eggland’s Best eggs, and then filled out a simple survey to let us know what they thought! You are invited to visit our photo album here.
We tested a range of recipes (all are saved here on Pinterest):
*The Cook to order options selected were: Scrambled, ‘Over Easy’, and Omelets. (See our Short Order Chef Dave’s tips on how to make scrambled eggs here.)
*Hard-Boiled Eggs (See Eggland's Best Tips for Hard-Boiled Eggs here. You may also purchase peeled, cooked Eggland's Best Eggs if you need to save time.)
*Breakfast Strata with Sausage was enjoyed by many. One mom said that this dish was “wonderful. My first ever, loved it.” Another mom suggested the addition of tomatoes to the casserole.
*Our Swiss and Ham Quiche also received several #1 rankings. One parent commented that it had an “amazing taste”.
*Deviled Eggs were devoured!
*Banana Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins –These muffins are a family favorite. They are easy to make and super to use up any overripe bananas.
*The recipe for Classic Pancakes yields 8-10 average –sized pancakes. We served them with choice of maple syrup, strawberries, whipped cream, and chocolate chips. The kiddos gobbled them right up!
*Blueberry Bundt Cake was very popular.
*Chocolate Brownies (boxed mix, chewy recipe)
We added some fruit and beverage options to balance out the meals.
Eggland’s Best eggs are truly a versatile, nutrition-packed protein source, as I discussed last week. For me, choosing Eggland’s Best at the store is akin to selecting the freshest produce or leanest cut of meat. One well-fed Dad declared: “I feel healthier already!”
I am happy to share these recipes with you. I hope that they provide you with some quick and healthy meal ideas for school mornings, as well as some make-ahead breakfasts. These easy recipes allow us to spend more time with our family and friends, and less in the kitchen.
