Fans can now also choose to select one of the following bonus categories per submission, if applicable – Sandwich, 30 Minutes or Less or Gluten-Free – for the chance to win $500!

A panel of judges will score semi-finalist recipe submissions based on taste and creativity.  After semi-finalists are selected, Eggland's Best will call on families to get in on the action by voting for their favorite recipes from each state. From the "Best in State" recipes, fans will help determine the five "Best in Region" finalists.  

The "Best in Region" recipes will be revealed on the Eggland's Best website where EB fans will once again get the chance to vote for America's Best Family Recipe. Fan votes combined with a panel of judges, including co-host of Food Network's "The Kitchen," Jeff Mauro, and Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist, Dawn Jackson Blatner, will then help determine the Grand Prize Winner.

"It's getting down to the wire, and I'm so excited that I get to help judge the unique recipe submissions in this year's Contest," said Mauro.

The Grand Prize winner will be awarded $10,000 and a year's supply of Eggland's Best eggs, and the "Best in Region" prize winners will each receive $1,000 and a year's supply of Eggland's Best eggs. "Best in State" winners will also receive a prize from Eggland's Best. Bonus category winners will receive $500.

"I'm looking forward to reviewing the mouthwatering recipe entries from across the U.S.," said Blatner. "While taste is always a huge factor for these recipes, I'm also really looking forward to reading the family stories behind the recipe and finding out why they also love Eggland's Best eggs."
