Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 large ham slices
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 2 drops green food coloring (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a blender, combine the fresh spinach and milk. Blend until smooth to create a vibrant green puree.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together. Add the spinach puree, salt, and black pepper, and whisk again to fully combine. Optionally, add 1-2 drops of green food coloring for a brighter green hue.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.

Step 4

Pour the green egg mixture into the skillet. Cook, stirring gently with a spatula, until the eggs are softly scrambled and fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Step 5

In a separate skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ham slices and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until warmed through and slightly crispy at the edges.

Step 6

Plate the green eggs alongside the ham slices. Serve immediately and enjoy your Dr. Seuss-inspired breakfast!
