Print Recipe

A creamy, slow-cooked breakfast dish featuring green eggs tinted with spinach, smoky ham, and caramelized onions, perfect for busy mornings or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs, whisked (room temperature)
  • 1 ½ cups cooked ham, diced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup whole milk or cream (almond or oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (sharp cheddar or blend)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • A pinch of nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown and fragrant.
  2. Place fresh spinach in a blender or food processor with half the milk. Pulse until smooth and bright green.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the remaining milk, garlic powder, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until just combined.
  4. Stir the pureed spinach mixture into the eggs. Add diced ham, caramelized onions, and shredded cheese. Mix gently but thoroughly.
  5. Lightly grease the slow cooker insert with butter or non-stick spray. Pour the egg mixture in and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours. Avoid lifting the lid often.
  7. Check doneness by inserting a knife or toothpick in the center; it should come out clean but moist. Cook an additional 15-30 minutes if needed.
  8. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better texture. Do not skip caramelizing onions for best flavor. Low and slow cooking prevents rubbery eggs. If slow cooker runs hot, check at 3.5 hours. For dairy-free, substitute milk and cheese with plant-based alternatives.
