I was handed an Eggland’s Best 'Grand Prize' winner's plaque! Can’t quite explain how I felt at that moment... let's just say that I was over-the-top excited with this win!

I never thought I’d be holding a BIG check for $10,000! For the camera crew to come to my home was an extra bonus!  They showered me with a year worth of FREE Eggland’s Best coupons and a fun pack filled with Eggland’s Best nicknacks! 

My TexMex-inspired appetizers had made it big! There was a flood of media release, especially in local magazines.

RECIPE:

Southwestern Tostada Bites

Ingredients:

  • 3-4 large flour tortilla, extra-thin burrito size

  • 5-6 oz. chorizo, case removed  

  • 1/2 cup corn kernels, fresh or frozen

  • 1/2 cup black beans

  • 2 tablespoons chipotle sauce

  • 3/4 cup cheddar cheese, divided

  • 1/2 cup green onion, thinly sliced, divided

  • 4 large Eggland's Best eggs

  • 1/4 cup sour cream

Directions:

  • Pre-heat oven to 375F.

  • Spray a mini-muffin pan with cooking spray. Set aside.

  • In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, sauté chorizo for about 2 minutes, or until slightly browned.  Add corn, beans, and chipotle sauce, sautéing for another minute. Set aside to cool.

  • Cut tortilla into 24 circles using a 3-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter. Press tortilla rounds into muffin pans to create a cup, and set aside.

  • Add beaten eggs, 1/2 cup cheese and green onions, reserving 2 tablespoons for topping, to cooled sautéed mixture. Combine well.

  • Fill each tortilla cup with 1 tablespoon of egg mixture. Bake for 15 minutes in pre-heated oven, or until eggs are set and golden on top.

  • Remove from oven and cool slightly. Top each cup with sour cream and remaining cheese and green onion before serving. Enjoy!
