Green Eggs and Ham Recipe
This Green Eggs and Ham recipe is, of course, inspired by Dr. Seuss’ book of the same name.
When you first heard Green Eggs and Ham, it probably sounded fun, but I bet you didn’t think, “That sounds delicious!” More likely it was, “What type of chicken lays green eggs?” or “Are green eggs real?” There are really green chicken eggs and even blue eggs, but, of course, only the eggshells are colored.
So, if you want Green Eggs and Ham, this recipe is the way to go. It not only tastes great, but it’s healthy and easy, with green eggs made without artificial ingredients!
The recipe uses egg whites, which are a great source of lean protein: Each egg white has 6 grams of protein and zero grams of fat! And spinach, one of the most nutrient-dense vegetables on the planet, makes the finished eggs green!
Here are some delicious ways to enjoy my Green Eggs and Ham Recipe:
You can put your eggs next to potatoes, Or top them with chopped tomatoes.
You can roll them in a spinach tortilla, Or stuff them in a whole wheat pita.
They are delicious on toasted bread, Or on an English muffin they can be spread.
Of course you can always eat them plain, And you’ll be eager to eat them again and again.
