Green Scrambled Eggs

Mar 15, 2011 · 5 Comments

Green Scrambled Eggs

Cheers to green food, in celebration of all things green and good to eat.

Green eggs are an easy start to the morning. Make life greener and easier by using kale pesto to green up your eggs. Or, try my dairy-free Basil Walnut Pesto.

If you don't have Kale pesto on hand, use another kind of pesto, or you can get a frying pan going with some olive oil or avocado oil and add some chopped spinach or other greens, onions, salt, and garlic together for a few minutes, and then add the eggs for a quick scramble.

    This sounds wonderful - I've been eating scrambled eggs with sauteed kale lately, but I love the idea of the pesto.

    I've been all about Kale recently, so I love the idea of making pesto with it, what a great addition to the eggs.

    Love the idea of kale pesto! One of my 3 kids likes kale, but I've been wondering how to get it in our diets more often! We're having green egg omelets tonight with spinach, but I could totally add the spinach next time! Thanks for the great idea!

    This looks divine! Such crisp photos, delightful to look at each visit. I always miss having green (in my) eggs when I get lazy or forgetful 🙂

      Thanks Katie! I rarely have them, but when I have pesto around, why not?
