Green Eggs and Ham

A slice of bread with a cooked egg in the center topped with ham, avocado salsa, and jalapeño oil, for a playful take on green eggs and ham.
Antonis Achilleos
This recipe from chef Carla Hall of “The Chew” plays on the old Dr. Seuss book “Green Eggs and Ham.” Here spinach and avocado salsa top eggs and thick slices of country bread. A drizzle of jalapeno oil completes the dish. A great St. Patrick’s Day breakfast.

Marcus Nilsson
Make sure you remove not only the inedible rind but also any excess fat from the cooked country ham. The profound taste of that fat is just too strong, a poor match for the pears

  1. Yum! I like that Green Eggs and Ham idea, avocado makes everything better. I make ham quiche sometimes with spinach and mushrooms. And I have a delicious ham salad wrap recipe that uses up the little bits too small for slicing. But I still love a thick slice of fresh baked ham on sourdough bread with real mayonnaise best.
