Green Eggs and Ham Breakfast - featured image
Print Recipe

A playful, protein-packed breakfast inspired by Dr. Seuss, featuring fluffy green eggs blended with fresh spinach, crispy ham, and optional cheese. Perfect for lazy weekends, meal prep, or sneaking veggies into picky eaters.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach (about 2 oz), packed
  • 4 oz cooked ham, diced
  • 1/4 cup milk or half-and-half (dairy-free options like oat or almond milk work)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional, cheddar or Swiss recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced (optional)
  • Hot sauce or sriracha (optional)

Instructions

  1. Crack 6 large eggs into a blender or food processor. Add spinach, milk or half-and-half, salt, and black pepper. If using cheese or cottage cheese, add it now. Dice ham and set aside.
  2. Blend on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute until the mixture is smooth and bright green. Scrape sides and blend again if needed.
  3. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add butter or olive oil and swirl to coat.
  4. Add diced ham to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until edges are golden and crispy. Remove ham and set aside.
  5. Pour the green egg mixture into the skillet. Let sit for 30 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, scraping the bottom and sides as it sets. When large, soft curds form, sprinkle ham (and cheese, if using) evenly over the top. Continue gently folding over low heat until eggs are just set but still moist and fluffy.
  6. Remove from heat while eggs are still slightly glossy. Top with sliced green onions or hot sauce if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra fluff, add a tablespoon of cottage cheese to the blender. If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out excess water. For dairy-free, use olive oil and plant-based milk/cheese. Crisping the ham adds flavor and texture. Eggs are best cooked low and slow for tenderness. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for 1 month.
