Eggland’s Best, America’s #1 branded egg, is teaming up with FOX’s hit culinary competition series MasterChef for Season 16, a high-stakes season inspired by the world’s biggest international soccer tournament.

Spotlight on the MasterChef Challenge

As part of the collaboration, brokered by BAM Entertainment Agency in partnership with Banijay Rights and FOX, Eggland’s Best will prominently feature in a thrilling new episode, releasing on May 20, where contestants are challenged to transform one of the world’s most universal proteins into a showstopping, globally inspired dish. The challenge highlights the versatility of eggs across cuisines, putting home cooks to the ultimate test of creativity, technique and flavor.

“Eggs are one of the most universal ingredients in cooking, transcending borders, cultures and cuisines,” said Kurt Misialek, President and CEO of Eggland’s Best. “Through our partnership with MasterChef, we’re showcasing how Eggland’s Best eggs can elevate any dish, from everyday meals to culinary masterpieces, while delivering superior taste and nutrition.”

Represented internationally by Banijay Entertainment, MasterChef is the world’s most successful cookery television format (Guinness World Records). Commissioned across 72 markets, the life-changing show has aired over 700 seasons and more than 16,000 episodes to-date. Created by Franc Roddam and first launched in 1990, the super brand is known and enjoyed across the globe.
