GREEN EGGS AND HAM

12 Best Foods Cookbook by Dana Jacobi

Popeye would  approve of the way I make Dr. Seuss's favorite dish, using spinach and other fresh greens.

Makes 2 servings


2   large eggs + 2 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon salt
    Freshly ground black pepper
1   cup chopped fresh spinach, or frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry
1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
3   scallions, green part only, chopped
1/2 cup chopped low-fat ham


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

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