One of my very favorite activities to do on Dr. Seuss’ birthday is to make Green Eggs & Ham and read Green Eggs and Ham.
*Warning: Most kids love this. Most dads aren’t so sure about this. 😉
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup milk
- 6 eggs
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup chopped ham
- Blue or green food coloring (or a natural alternative)
- Salt and pepper to taste
1) Grease and heat skillet over medium heat. Crack eggs into mixing bowl and add milk. Add a drop or two of blue food coloring and whisk together.
2) Pour into skillet. Add ham to the egg/milk mixture. Cook until egg mixture begins to thicken around the bottom and edges.
3) Use a spatula to lift and fold the cooked portion to the top, so the liquid portion flows underneath. Cook until all of the egg mixture is thickened. “Scramble” the eggs with the spatula. Serve!
What do you think? Is it delicious or is it disgusting?
The vote was split at our house — two people thought it was delicious, two people thought it tasted good but looked terrible (almost bad enough they didn’t want to finish eating it), and one person abstained from voting!

I think the food coloring is a bit gross. 😉 If I were going to do this, I would mix in mushrooms and spinach to make it green. That’s one of our favorite combos anyway. Too bad we’re out of spinach!
What?!! You don’t like the ominous glow of the dyed eggs?!! Ha,ha…I’m sure there is probably some way to color them green a little more “naturally”, but I didn’t take time to find it! I do like the idea of spinach — that would be quite healthy and tasty!! 🙂
Was always a favorite thing for me to do for Dr. Seuss’s birthday…something I miss in retirement! I guess I could have served it to Jack this morning!
Awww…I bet Jack would’ve eaten them! It is fun to do!
I’ve been invited to a thanksgiving dinner. I asked what can I bring, and their rule of thumb is you bring something that it’s first letter of what ever it is, starts with the first letter of your name. Their aunt Mable brought M&Ms last year…lol I’ve been thinking all day, and then a light bulb went off…green eggs and ham finger sandwiches…there will be little kids there, and I used to (and still do) love that story. So I’ve been checking out recipes, and then went to google and looked for pics of green eggs and ham, saw yours and it looked just like what I wanted…I might add a little chopped onion, etc…I am so glad you had this. Thank you!!!!
