Green Eggs & Ham Tarts
A fun (and delicious) way to get kids to eat their spinach without knowing it. Serve with toast and fruit salad.
Ingredients (Serves 4)
| 2 |
cups spinach leaves, tightly packed |
| 8 |
large eggs |
| 1 |
tsp salt |
| 16 |
thin slices country ham |
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Blanch* spinach. Drain and squeeze out all excess water from spinach as if you were squeezing a sponge.
- Using a muffin tin, fit 2 slices of ham per muffin cup to create a cup. Bake in oven for approximately 10 minutes so ham cup holds its shape and edges have some colour.
- In a blender or food processor, purée spinach with eggs and salt until smooth.
- In a non-stick skillet, scramble egg mixture until eggs are set over medium-high heat.
- Divide scrambled eggs among the 8 ham cups and serve with toast.
