URBANDALE, Iowa (AP) — A group that monitors Iowa’s egg industry is looking for the best recipes that think outside the shell. The Iowa Egg Council is kicking off its “Incredibly Good Eggs” cooking contest. Recipes can include party foods or drinks, breakfast entrees, main dishes, side dishes, snacks or desserts. The recipes must be original and contain at least four eggs in the form of whole eggs, yolks or whites. The contest will be divided among adults, culinary arts students and general students from sixth grade through high school. Winners will be selected online after a preliminary judging period.

All contest entries must be received by Friday, March 1, 2013 at 5 PM. To enter, visit www.iowaegg.org for a downloadable entry form and a complete list of rules. Or call 877-IOWAEGG for mailed contest information.
