Well we finally finished judging the "Eggs for Breakfast" recipe contest and as usual it was a
very, very difficult decision.  We had lots of judges and they helped tremendously.   We added some
new judges so thanks to Caroline and Laura, my neighbors for their help.
The winners

1st Place:  Southwestern Eggs Benedict   This was sent in by Julie DeMatteo of Clementon, NJ
She won $50, a set of egg cups and an apron from the California Egg Commission, who nicely
provided some prizes.  This is a great recipe for special occasions, all the judges agreed that this
was a winner

2nd Place: Eggs Baked in Spinach and Kielbasa  This was submitted by Mary Bayramian of
Laguna Beach, CA.  She won $20, a set of egg cups and a California Egg Commission Apron.
Mary is one of our more prolific recipe senders and you will see not only this great recipe, but
many others she shared with us.

3rd Place: Ham and Cranberry Brunch Bake  Is there something in the water in New Jersey?
TerryAnn Moore of Oaklyn, NJ sent in this very unusual and delicious recipe.  It was a big favorite
with the children.  Terry won a set of egg cups and an apron.  She is also a returning winner.
She was the first place winner in the "Make it with a Tomato" contest.

would be excellent for brunch and you won't be stuck in the kitchen while it bakes.

on French toast.

very easy to carry with you and doesn't make any crumbs.

Breakfast Egg Loaf  It's from Mary again and this one can easily be made ahead and rewarmed
so kids and adults can have a quick, hot breakfast in the morning.

Breakfast Egg Salad Sandwich  I think Mary is going to be in the Egg Commission Hall of Fame.
This one is hers also and it would be great for lunch as well.

Brunch Scramble This one is from Shirl in Cottonwood, CA which begs the question:
Where the heck is.....?  A great dish for a crowd with a Mexican touch.

excellent microwave recipe.

a more formal brunch or event.

Lapham of Melbourne, Australia for this excellent recipe.  I was not quite sure what a rasher
of bacon was, so I cooked a pound and used that.  This one is definitely a kid pleaser.

than it sounds, try it.

with their breakfast.  A good use for leftover fries.

great for breakfast on the go and would also be a great lunch.

a great alternative, a sweet and delicious pancake recipe sent from Dean
McDonald from West Carrollton, OH.

this one on Christmas morning and it was enjoyed by all.

for breakfast in bed, but since we couldn't get all the judges in bed, we just ate
ours at the table.

Pam's Excellent Breakfast  Pamela Krahn from Two Rivers, WI sends us this recipe
that is her weekend specialty.

Potato Egg Nests  If you have left over mashed potatoes, Mary has sent us a great
way to use them the next morning.  I prefer this over mashed potato pancakes, which
I can never seem to get right.  Make some extra potatoes for this one.

Sausage Potato Cheese Brunch  An easy and tasty do ahead brunch recipe.

Scrambled Egg Sausage Bean sprout  Yet another clever recipe from Mary, I think we
