Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs (about 300g)
  • 1/4 cup whole milk (60ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves (10g)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves (10g)
  • 2 tablespoons chives (6g)
  • 1 cup baby spinach (30g)
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon fresh dill, tarragon, or cilantro (3g)
  • 1 cup diced ham (150g)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or unsalted butter (14g)
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese or feta (30g)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup shredded cheddar (30g)
  • Crusty bread, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prep the Ingredients (5 minutes): Crack eggs into a blender or mixing bowl. Rinse and pat dry herbs and spinach; roughly chop if needed. Dice ham. Crumble or shred cheese if using.
  2. Blend the Greens (2 minutes): Add parsley, basil, chives, spinach, milk, salt, and pepper to eggs. Blend until smooth and vivid green (30-45 seconds). If whisking by hand, chop greens finely and whisk vigorously.
  3. Sear the Ham (3 minutes): Heat butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add diced ham and cook until slightly browned and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Cook the Green Eggs (6–8 minutes): Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour green egg mixture over ham. Let sit for 30 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, scraping sides and bottom. Continue to gently fold and stir every 20–30 seconds until eggs are fluffy and mostly set. When about 80% set, sprinkle cheese on top and fold in. Remove from heat when just set.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Spoon eggs onto plates, garnish with extra herbs or chives if desired. Serve hot with crusty bread or toast.

Notes

For best results, blend herbs and eggs until completely smooth for a vibrant color. Dry greens well to avoid watery eggs. Sear ham before adding eggs for extra flavor. Cheese is optional but adds creaminess. For vegetarian, substitute ham with sautéed mushrooms or smoked tofu. Serve immediately for best texture.
