Why You’ll Love It
It’s fun for kids. This is the perfect recipe if you’re reading the Dr. Suess book Green Eggs & Ham, and want to try eating green eggs at home. It’s also the perfect green breakfast for St. Patrick’s Day! It’s easy. Just toss eggs, spinach, and a little salt into a blender, and blend until smooth. Then you’ll cook it just like regular scrambled eggs, only with a green hue. It tastes great. Spinach is the ultimate chameleon of veggies, since you can hardly taste it in a green smoothie. These green eggs are no different! The spinach flavor is almost unnoticeable, especially if you add your favorite It makes a nourishing breakfast. Instead of stirring the spinach into scrambled eggs, which might not go over as well with children, you’re getting veggies and protein in each bite. No food dye required!
Ingredients You’ll Need
All you need for green eggs are the eggs, spinach, and salt, plus some sort of oil for cooking. You can use butter or olive oil, or just a little cooking spray, to help prevent sticking. If you don’t have spinach on hand, you could also use kale, but the flavor will be more noticeable in that case. Make sure you enjoy the flavor of the greens you’re using!
How to Make Green Eggs
- Blend. In a high-speed blender, combine the eggs, fresh baby spinach, and salt. Secure the lid on your blender, and blend until very smooth, with no visible green specks. Stop and scrape down the blender with a rubber spatula, to make sure everything gets evenly mixed.
- Cook. Heat a drizzle of olive oil or a pat of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat, then pour the egg mixture into the center of the pan. Use a rubber spatula to move the eggs around the skillet, cooking until they reach your desired texture.
- Enjoy! Serve the green eggs warm right away, with any toppings you like, like a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, or any other herbs you love. Serve some sliced Canadian bacon on the side, if you’re going for a “green eggs and ham” dish. (But don’t ask me how to make green ham… that sounds trickier!) Looking for more kid-friendly food?
