A creamy, vibrant green eggs and ham breakfast that is quick, easy, and packed with flavor. Perfect for weekend brunches or family meals, this recipe blends fresh spinach into eggs for a silky texture and savory taste.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, preferably free-range or organic
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, packed, washed and roughly chopped (can substitute baby kale or chard)
  • 1 cup cooked ham, diced into small cubes (leftover ham works well)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream or whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives or green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: rinse and roughly chop 2 cups of fresh spinach, dice 1 cup of cooked ham into small cubes, finely chop 2 tablespoons of fresh chives or green onions, and crack 6 large eggs into a mixing bowl.
  2. Whisk the eggs: add 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the eggs. Whisk vigorously until smooth and slightly frothy.
  3. Sauté the spinach and ham: heat 1 tablespoon butter in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add chopped spinach and diced ham, cook stirring often until spinach wilts and ham warms through, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs: pour the egg mixture over the spinach and ham in the skillet. Let sit undisturbed for about 20 seconds until edges start to set.
  5. Cook gently, stirring occasionally: using a silicone spatula, gently fold the eggs from edges to center every 30 seconds over low to medium-low heat for 4-5 minutes until soft curds form.
  6. Add cheese and herbs: when eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, sprinkle 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese and chopped chives on top. Fold gently and cook for another 30 seconds to melt cheese.
  7. Final touch and serve: remove from heat while eggs are creamy and slightly glossy. Adjust seasoning if needed and serve immediately.

Notes

Use low heat and fold eggs gently to avoid rubbery texture. Fresh spinach is preferred over frozen to prevent watery eggs. For dairy-free, substitute butter with olive oil and cream with coconut or almond milk. Leftovers store up to 2 days in fridge; reheat gently in skillet.
