(NAPSI)—Nothing says great entertaining quite like the aromas of fresh-baked goods emanating from the kitchen. For your next turn as host/hostess, “egg-cite” your guests with a winning recipe from Eggland’s Best (EB) eggs that can be enjoyed for breakfast or dessert.

After receiving thousands of recipe entries in the inaugural Eggland’s Best “Your Best Recipe” Contest, at-home chef Donna Pochoday-Stelmach was announced as the $10,000 Grand Prize winner for her Peach-Blueberry Egg Bread Bake recipe.

“One of my goals as a hostess is to make something fresh and delicious,” said Pochoday-Stelmach. “Friends and family love my Peach-Blueberry Egg Bread Bake because it has a good balance of healthy ingredients like fresh fruit and Eggland’s Best eggs mixed with the comfort of an egg bread-custard.”

Before you get cracking in the kitchen, look for the distinctive “EB” stamp to ensure your guests are being served an Eggland’s Best egg superior in taste, nutrition and quality. Not only do Eggland’s Best eggs perform consistently in recipes, but they also contain 25 percent less saturated fat, 10 times more vitamin E, twice the amount of vitamin D, and double the amount of omega-3 fatty acids, when compared to ordinary eggs.
