The beautiful Eva Longoria is dropping by this week's episode of MasterChef, but she isn't there to just meet and greet the contestants. She's dropping a mystery-box challenge on them!

In this exclusive first-look photo, the former Desperate Housewives star poses with judges Gordon Ramsay, Joe Bastianich and Graham Elliot while on set of the Fox reality series. Longoria, who is also a restaurateur, has selected Mexican-inspired ingredients for the contestants to cook with. Whoever creates the best dish will get a huge advantage in the elimination round, so the pressure is definitely on.

Later in the episode during the team challenge, the home cooks will have to hit the beach and cook fish tacos for a huge pack of hungry surfers. But more importantly, Graham Elliot makes one of the best entrances in MasterChef history before the cooking begins. Check out the exclusive preview below and you'll see exactly what we mean.

MasterChef returns with an all-new episode tomorrow night on Fox!
