This initiative is running through June 30. Fans can enter daily without purchase for a chance to win a grand prize of $5,000 toward a kitchen upgrade, along with MasterChef-branded premium cookware and an Eggland's Best prize pack. Seven weekly winners will receive a $250 grocery and cookware gift card. Inspired by MasterChef Season 16's 'Global Gauntlet' theme, the 'Ultimate Summer Entertaining Sweepstakes' encourages home cooks to explore internationally influenced dishes using eggs as a versatile foundation. Eggland's Best has also released globally inspired recipes adapted from the MasterChef recipe bank — from the savory Gluten-Free Frying Pan Muffin with Egg to the bold Carbonara with Blue Cheese, Broccoli & Hazelnuts and classic Profiteroles.
