This is a great recipe to get more spinach into your breakfast without even noticing it! Throw spinach and eggs into the blender, scramble them up and voila!
So I’m departing from matcha for a minute, but this recipe is still a beautiful shade of green! Spinach eggs are what I make when I want to eat spinach but I don’t really feel like eating spinach. Do you know what I mean? Like you want to be healthy and have a big handful of it at breakfast but you don’t want a green smoothie and you just don’t feel like chewing on spinach today? Well I’ve got you covered. 🙂

Sometimes I don’t mind chewing on spinach in the morning, like when I make Spinach & Feta Wraps, but sometimes I just want to keep things smooth. Spinach and eggs go great together and blending the spinach and eggs allows me to eat more spinach without having to deal with the texture if I’m not feeling it. Yes, it turns the eggs green but that’s okay!
Ingredients
Spinach eggs
- Fresh spinach – It’s growing nicely in my composting garden right now!
- Eggs
- Butter
- Salt and pepper
I like to top mine with a little cheese and parsley but that’s definitely optional!
Can you use frozen spinach with eggs?
I don’t like using frozen spinach for these for a couple of reasons. I don’t like having to thaw and drain the spinach. Also, it’s impossible to wring out enough water, potentially resulting in watery eggs. And lastly, there is just a distinct flavor difference between fresh and frozen and for these I prefer the taste of fresh spinach.
How to make spinach and eggs
It’s so easy! Just toss a handful of spinach into the blender with two eggs and blend away. I like to add a little parsley if I have it, but that’s not necessary.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add butter.
- Once butter is melted and the pan is hot, pour in the spinach eggs.
- Use a rubber spatula to pull eggs toward the center until almost set.
- Once they reach the almost set stage, turn off the heat and flip.
