Spinach Scrambled Eggs

Spinach Scrambled Eggs

This recipe was inspired by an idea that Laura Marchese, another preschool mom had, to make green eggs and ham for Dr Seuss week at Young Fun Preschool without using traditional food coloring. She steamed frozen spinach, pureed it, then brought it to class where I added it to the scrambled eggs before I cooked them.  The kids loved them and I thought it was a great way to not only avoid food coloring, but to also throw in an added boost of spinach nutrition!  This is the recipe that I came up with today and I used the blender to skip the steaming and pureeing step.

Tools:

1) Blender

2) Large Skillet

Ingredients:

1) Nonstick Spray (I used Olive Oil)

2) 1 dozen Eggs

3) 1 cup frozen chopped Spinach (Right out of the freezer)

4) 2 Tbsp Milk (I used Almond Milk)

5) Seasoning... Use whatever sounds good to you, but I threw in Curry, Coriander and Tumeric

Directions:

1) In the blender, puree the Eggs, Spinach, Milk and Spices.

2) Spray the skillet with oil, pour in the egg mixture and cook as usual.

3) Serve and Enjoy! :)

Thoughts... These are a big hit with my family even though they are green! 

Comments... Despite the spinach, they still taste like scrambled eggs! I served them with halved cherry tomatoes, which makes a great tasting combo!
