A quick and kid-friendly breakfast sandwich featuring bright green scrambled eggs blended with fresh spinach, savory ham, and soft sandwich rolls. Perfect for busy mornings and picky eaters.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup packed fresh spinach, washed and roughly chopped
  • 4 thin slices ham (pre-cooked deli or leftover, lean and low-sodium preferred)
  • 4 sandwich rolls or soft buns (brioche or Hawaiian sweet rolls recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (dairy or plant-based alternative)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper (optional, finely ground)

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 cup packed fresh spinach leaves well and pat dry. Roughly chop if you don’t have a blender.
  2. Crack 4 large eggs into a blender or food processor, add the spinach, 2 tablespoons milk, a pinch of salt, and optional black pepper. Blend until the mixture is smooth and bright green, about 30 seconds.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Slice sandwich rolls in half and toast them lightly in the skillet, about 1-2 minutes per side, until golden but still soft. Set aside.
  4. Pour the blended egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for 10-15 seconds until it starts to set at the edges. Using a silicone spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, forming soft curds. Continue cooking and folding for about 2-3 minutes until eggs are cooked through but still moist and slightly creamy. Avoid overcooking.
  5. Slide 4 thin slices of ham into the pan alongside the eggs for the last 30 seconds to warm through.
  6. Spread the bottom half of each toasted roll with a little butter or cream cheese if desired. Layer on the warm ham slices, then pile on the green scrambled eggs. Top with the other half of the roll.
  7. Serve immediately while eggs are warm and fluffy. Pair with fresh fruit or a glass of milk if desired.

Notes

Use fresh eggs at room temperature for fluffier eggs. Blend spinach finely to avoid leafy bits and keep color vibrant. Cook eggs on medium heat to keep them soft and avoid browning. Toast rolls lightly to keep them tender. Warm ham gently to avoid drying out. For dairy-free, use plant-based milk and vegan butter. For gluten-free, substitute rolls with gluten-free buns or English muffins.
