Re: Green Eggs & Bacon?

In honour of the literary genius who captured our imagination in his books, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, The Lorax, The Cat in the Hat and so on, I created a recipe inspired by one of the most iconic dishes from Dr. Seuss’s stories-green eggs and ham! For this recipe, I will be using bacon instead of ham to add that salty crunch, eggs and spinach to turn the eggs green while adding that healthy boost.

Ingredients: (green eggs)

3 large eggs
dash of hot sauce
chopped garlic
salt & pepper
handful of spinach
dried/fresh parsley leaves
butter

Side dishes:

crispy bacon
fresh diced tomatoes
toast/toasted buns

Procedure:

To make the eggs, I roughly chopped the spinach and garlic before putting it in a blender (food processor works too)
In the same container, I cracked 3 eggs, added the hot sauce, salt & pepper and parsley leaves
Blend/pulse the ingredients gradually
In a skillet, put the stove in medium to high heat and wait for the skillet to get hot before putting a tablespoon of butter
Make sure that the skillet is evenly coated with butter by swirly it around before pouring in the egg-spinach mixture
Cook normally like a scrambled egg
Once the scrambled eggs are cooked, you can put it on a plate and start cooking the bacon
(Optional) While you’re waiting for the bacon to crisp up, dice some ripe tomatoes
Then put the tomatoes in the same plate with the eggs
Once the bacon is cooked, put it on the same plate with the eggs and tomatoes
I added little dollops of cream cheese with the scrambled eggs BUT that’s optional
Enjoy!

This might not be the original green eggs and ham, but surely bacon is a good substitute! Also, you might have some froth when you pulse or blend the eggs and spinach together and that’s ok. You can skim the froth off or pour everything in the skillet; it will eventually evaporate.
