Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 slices ham slices
- 1 teaspoons olive oil
Instructions
In a blender, combine the spinach, basil leaves, milk, and eggs. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and bright green.
Season the egg mixture with salt and black pepper. Stir to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Pour in half of the green egg mixture and cook, stirring continuously, until soft curds form and the eggs are scrambled to your desired consistency. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Repeat with the remaining butter and egg mixture.
Heat olive oil in a second skillet over medium heat. Add the ham slices and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until warmed through and slightly golden at the edges.
Serve the green scrambled eggs alongside the ham slices on a plate. Optionally, garnish with extra basil leaves for freshness.
