Green eggs are simply whole eggs (or egg whites) that are blended with baby spinach or kale before cooking. This results in bright, vibrant, colorful eggs that happen to also taste delicious.
This recipe would be perfect if you wanted to make green eggs and ham for breakfast. Simply pair them with some pan-seared ham steak and enjoy.
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.
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.

What do green eggs taste like?
If you use only a small handful of spinach in this recipe, you won’t taste the greens very much. The more spinach you use, the darker green the eggs will be, and the more flavor will come through. You can add some shredded cheese, if you think that will make it more appealing for kids.
