Green Eggs and Ham Recipes (Mini Frittatas)

(I originally shared this post over at the Snap blog last year, but wanted to reshare it with you here, in case you missed it.)

My kids eating preferences could not be more different- my daughter will eat almost anything. She loves most veggies, devours spicy food, and frequently gets a salad for lunch at the school cafeteria. My son, on the other hand, will only eat a few select vegetables, doesn’t like his food too spicy and I have a very difficult time getting him to eat casserole-style dishes. (And you can especially forget him eating a casserole if he spots a single green veggie in it.)

So yes, I’ve been known to puree and add different veggies to my recipes.  (I’ve got a great roundup of hidden veggie recipes here.)

The best thing about this green eggs and ham mini frittata recipe is that gorgeous green color is completely natural! Absolutely no food coloring.

Ready to guess the secret ingredient? (If you haven’t already…)

It’s spinach!

how to make green eggs and ham

To get the bright green color, you just puree 2 cups of fresh baby spinach with the eggs in a blender or food processor. My kids never knew it was spinach that turned the eggs green because the Frittatas certainly didn’t taste like spinach. (Have you ever noticed that some spinach has a very strong flavor and other spinach doesn’t? To me, I’ve found that fresh, organic baby spinach, stems removed, often tastes the best.)
