Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 5 pieces basil leaves (optional)
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 4 slices sliced ham
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a blender or food processor, combine the fresh spinach, basil leaves (if using), and milk. Blend until the mixture is smooth and bright green. Set aside.
Step 2
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them thoroughly. Add the spinach mixture, salt, and black pepper to the eggs, then whisk until fully combined.
Step 3
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt and coat the skillet evenly.
Step 4
Pour the green egg mixture into the skillet. Stir gently and continuously with a rubber spatula, scraping the edges and bottom of the skillet to form soft, fluffy curds. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the eggs are just set but still creamy. Remove from heat.
Step 5
In a separate skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ham slices and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until they are warmed through and slightly crispy around the edges.
Step 6
Serve the green eggs alongside the ham slices. Garnish with additional basil leaves or a sprinkle of black pepper if desired. Enjoy immediately!
