Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves (washed)
- 2 tablespoons milk (or cream for richer flavor)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: shredded cheese, diced bell peppers, or sliced olives for “eyes”
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Blend the Spinach
Add the spinach and milk into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and bright green. This gives your eggs that Frankenstein color naturally without food coloring.
Step 2: Beat the Eggs
In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them with the spinach mixture until fully combined. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Step 3: Cook the Garlic
Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 4: Scramble the Eggs
Pour in the green egg mixture. Stir gently with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges to the center until softly scrambled and fluffy. Don’t overcook keep them tender and moist.
Step 5: Decorate & Serve
Spoon the scrambled eggs onto a plate. For a fun Frankenstein look, add two sliced olives as eyes and sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Kids will love it, and adults will enjoy the healthy twist.
