Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups spinach (fresh or frozen, thawed and drained)
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup ham (diced or sliced)
- 8 ounces egg noodles (cooked and drained)
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to boil, and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
While the noodles are cooking, add the spinach to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, pureed spinach, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter to melt.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, to scramble the eggs until they are just set but still soft. Remove the green eggs from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced or sliced ham and cook for 2-3 minutes over medium heat until warmed through.
Add the cooked egg noodles and scrambled green eggs back into the skillet with the ham. Toss gently to combine everything evenly.
Optional: Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese for added flavor.
Serve hot, and enjoy your playful 'Green Eggs Noodles and Ham'!
