Well, we have all heard of “Green Eggs and Ham” but have you ever eaten it? This green breakfast idea would be perfect for your St. Patrick’s Day celebration!
The best part? You can sneak in some extra veggies because these eggs get their green color from spinach, not food coloring! This green eggs and ham breakfast sandwich recipe is a great way to build memories together and try something new, all while squeezing in a few extra veggies along the way.
To get those perfectly green eggs, we’re using a secret weapon – the blender. Add your eggs, spinach and a splash of water to the blender and let it do it’s thing.
And if your kids love to help in the kitchen, have them make this breakfast with you! They can add the ingredients to the blender and assemble their own sandwiches. If they are a little more experienced, they can help cook the eggs, too.
The result? Seriously whipped green eggs ready for cooking. Pour into a preheated nonstick skillet and cook.

How to make these easy green egg breakfast sandwiches
First toast the English muffins and set aside.
Next place the eggs, spinach and 1 Tbsp. water in to a blender and blend until smooth.
Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Then add in the egg mixture. When partially set, use a spatula to cut in half and flip. Let cook for about 30 seconds or until done, and season with some salt and pepper to taste.
Top one half of the English muffin with cheese, ham, egg, and the other half of the English muffin.
Additions & Substitutions:
- If you don’t have any English muffins, these would be great on some whole wheat toast or even wrapped up in tortillas.
- If you want to try another veggie, you can add some broccoli florets.
- We used low fat cheddar cheese but swiss or provolone cheese would be great, too!
