This year our season theater tickets included Seussical, a delightful musical with Dr. Seuss’s characters, including Horton and references to Green Eggs & Ham. Since I had lots of green vegetables and ham in my refrigerator, as well as fresh eggs from my daughter’s chickens, I made this delicious version (there are hundreds, even thousands out there since Dr. Seuss is so beloved by children and adults) of Green Eggs & Ham for breakfast.

I paired my Green Eggs & Ham with crunchy sourdough toast, and was happy all day. Hopefully you’ll try my version, and will like it as much as I do. You can substitute any green veggies you may have around, including leftovers like broccoli, asparagus, spinach, green chilies, jalapenos, or green peppers – whatever strikes your fancy. It will be good no matter what you add.
