- In a blender or food processor, combine the eggs, fresh spinach leaves, milk or cream, salt, and pepper.
- Blend slowly until the mixture is smooth and the spinach is fully incorporated, resulting in a vibrant green colour.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the pan.
- Pour the green egg mixture into the pan and gently stir with a spatula.
- Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are softly scrambled and cooked to your desired consistency. Season with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
- While the eggs are cooking, heat the slices of cooked ham in a separate pan over medium heat until warmed through.
To assemble and serve
Place a slice of warmed ham on each plate. Top the ham with a generous portion of the green scrambled eggs. Garnish with freshly chopped chives or parsley for added freshness and a pop of colour.
