How to Make Green Eggs That Your Kids Will Love
Last week my childrenʼs school celebrated Dr. Seussʼs birthday. In the kindergarten class they made green eggs by mixing spinach with eggs. My 5 year old who had been refusing eggs for months came home asking for green eggs. I wasnʼt there when they made it at school so I winged it.
I filled the container with fresh spinach and then added 3 eggs. I use organic extra large. I then sczoozced them together.
I heated my trusty cast iron frying pan, added a pat of good quality butter, spread it around the pan and added the green mixture and cooked it just like regular scrambled eggs.
I called it “green eggs in a pan” ... get it? Green Eggs and Ham... green eggs in a pan...? My 5 year old didnʼt get it either, she said “No! Itʼs just called green eggs!” Ok, we can call it whatever you want.
Served it with tomato salsa and a size of frozen cherries.
Why frozen cherries? She wanted frozen cherries, what can I say.
This was a super easy way to get some protein, iron, B vitamins, and fiber into my kid with a bout 5 minutes of cooking time. My kind of instant gratification.
