Instructions
- 1Prepare the green egg mixture: In a blender or food processor, combine the eggs, milk/cream, packed spinach, 1 tablespoon of chopped chives, and dill (if using). Blend until completely smooth and a vibrant green color, about 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper.
- 2Cook the eggs: Heat the butter or olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the green egg mixture.
- 3Cook, gently stirring and folding the eggs with a spatula, until they are set but still moist and fluffy, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become dry.
- 4While the eggs are cooking, toast your bread slices to your desired crispness.
- 5Assemble the toast: Place a generous amount of green scrambled eggs on each slice of toasted bread.
- 6Drape the smoked salmon slices artfully over the eggs. Garnish with additional fresh chopped chives and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired. Serve immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I ensure the eggs are truly green?
The key is using a blender or food processor to thoroughly combine the spinach with the eggs until no visible spinach pieces remain. Using fresh, vibrant spinach also helps achieve a brighter green.
Can I add other vegetables to the eggs?
While the spinach gives the green color, you can certainly add other finely diced vegetables like bell peppers or onions to the eggs for extra flavor and texture, just be aware they might alter the pure green hue.
What kind of bread works best?
Any sturdy bread that holds up well to toasting will work. Sourdough offers a nice tang, while whole wheat adds nuttiness. For a gluten-free option, ensure you use a good quality gluten-free bread.
