Description
Make naturally green scrambled eggs by blending spinach into the mixture, then cook with savory ham for a quick, high-protein breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons milk or water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil
- 1/2 cup diced cooked ham
Instructions
- Place the eggs, spinach, milk or water, salt, and pepper into a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and uniformly green.
- Heat the butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced ham to the skillet and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until heated through.
- Pour the green egg mixture over the ham in the skillet.
- Let the eggs set around the edges for about 30 seconds without stirring.
- Using a spatula, gently push the cooked egg from the edges toward the center, tilting the pan so the uncooked egg flows underneath.
- Continue cooking and folding gently until the eggs are set but still slightly moist. Do not overcook.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- If you do not have a blender, finely chop the spinach and whisk it vigorously with the eggs until well combined.
- You can substitute the ham with cooked turkey bacon or omit it for a vegetarian version.
