“After the first round of judging, we could not be more thrilled with the creative and delicious recipes we received,” said Charlie Lanktree, CEO of Eggland’s Best. “We heard from so many passionate fans about why Eggland’s Best are the only eggs good enough for their recipes, and it was incredible to see the many ways our customers across the country enjoy EB eggs. We can’t wait to see who America will vote for!”

A panel of judges, including actress, food lover and mom of two Courtney Lopez, and Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist and winner of the hit primetime ABC television show My Diet Is Better Than Yours, Dawn Jackson Blatner, will help select the Grand Prize Winner.
“As a Pennsylvania native, I’m very much looking forward to seeing who from the Northeast will be named a finalist, and I can’t wait to help select the Grand Prize Winner later this year,” said Lopez. “My family loves Eggland’s Best eggs, and I’m eager to taste some of these delicious recipes since EB eggs are the only eggs I use to add freshness, great taste, and nutrition to my meals.”
Compared to ordinary eggs, EB eggs contain six times more vitamin D, 25% less saturated fat, more than double the Omega-3s, ten times more vitamin E and more than double the vitamin B12. EB eggs are also an excellent source of vitamin B2 (riboflavin) and vitamin B5. EB’s superior nutritional profile is due to its proprietary all-vegetarian hen feed that contains healthy grains, canola oil and a wholesome supplement of rice bran, alfalfa, sea kelp and Vitamin E.
