Cooking with friends is a great way to bond. This past Friday Eggland's Best hosted a fun event at My Cooking Party NYC. We had the chance to try some great recipe’s using healthy and fresh ingredients. As a working mom I feel the stress of "what's for dinner" daily. How can I preplan? What can I cook quickly? How can I make sure it's delicious and good for us too?
The luncheon was a great way to learn new recipes for dinner and at my kitchen station, broccoli quiche was on the menu. We used fresh broccoli, cream, gruyere cheese and of course Eggland's Best Eggs. The entire prep and cook time was no more than 30 minutes. They say a picture is worth a thousand words so enjoy the video below. I also included a recipe for broccoli quiche. This is for a full pie. Enjoy!
At Eggland's Best, their commitment is to produce a more nutritious egg, which is also the finest, freshest, and most delicious egg possible. From their unique hen feed and strict quality standards to the network of USDA-inspected local farms all over the United States, you can be confident that a classic, organic, or cage-free egg with the EB stamp on the shell is a nutritionally superior egg that delivers farm-fresh taste. That's why Eggland's Best are the country's #1 egg!
