Eggs are a staple ingredient in many holiday recipes. In fact, more eggs are consumed during the winter holiday season than any time of year.

To celebrate, the EGGsperts from some of the nation’s top egg farming states, including North Carolina, have come together to host a virtual exchange – Dish on Eggs – to dish on their favorite holiday recipes representing their home state. From frittatas to strata and deviled eggs to classic eggnog, families can cook their way across America with hometown favorites shared exclusively by the experts who know eggs best!

Participating organizations in the holiday recipe exchange include: the Ohio Egg Marketing Program (OH), Iowa Egg Council (IA), Pacific Egg and Poultry Association (CA), North Carolina Egg Association (NC), Virginia Egg Council (VA), Chicken & Egg Association of Minnesota (MN), Indiana State Poultry Association (IN), and the Colorado Egg Producers (CO).
Each participating organization created three recipes to represent their state featuring a brunch, appetizer and dessert. North Carolina's egg-cellent recipes include:

Christmas Thyme Grits (brunch) - There's no better time than the holidays to whip up a batch of Christmas Thyme Grits! Perfect for feeding a crowd, this brunch favorite will keep guests coming back for seconds.
Italian Stuffed Eggs (appetizer) - Made with ricotta cheese, fresh tomatoes, chives, olives and basil, Creamy Italian Stuffed Eggs are a delicious snack everyone will love at holiday parties!

Pumpkin Pudding (dessert) - Cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg - oh my! Impress holiday party guests with made from scratch Pumpkin Pudding. Add a special touch by topping with whipped cream and chopped nuts! For the full list of recipes or to download an e-cookbook, visit www.DishonEggs.com.
