GREEN EGGS and HAM

(from kylerhea’s recipe box)

Popeye would approve of my version of Dr. Seuss’s favorite dish, which includes spinach and green onions. To avoid cancer-causing nitrites, choose uncured ham. It is sold at natural foods markets and many supermarkets. If you do not eat pork, use turkey bacon instead. A one-dish meal, these colorful eggs make a hearty breakfast accompanied by whole-grain toast.
Fast Fact: Spinach is rich in beta-carotene as well as folate.
Quick Tip: For chopped spinach in seconds, grab a handful of raw leaves or cooked spinach and snip it into strips using kitchen shears.

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Ground black pepper
  • 1 cup chopped fresh spinach, or defrosted frozen chopped spinach, squeezed dry
  • 3 whole green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped, uncured ham
  • Cooking spray

Directions

  1. Whisk the eggs and whites, salt, and 2 or 3 grinds of pepper in a bowl until well combined.

  2. Coat a medium skillet very liberally with cooking spray and heat it over medium-high heat. Add the spinach, pulling the frozen spinach apart, if using. Mix in the scallions, and ham. Cook until the greens are wilted, 2 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon. Pour in the eggs. Stir constantly until they are combined with the other ingredients and scrambled, about 2 minutes. Divide the cooked eggs between two plates and serve immediately.
