Toast topped with spinach-speckled green scrambled eggs and a fresh Mexican-style roast tomato salsa. This simple recipe is perfect for breakfast or a light lunch.
These green eggs take just minutes to make. The spinach and the salsa count toward your daily vegetables, making this both nutritious and tasty.
Quick, healthy and delicious — green eggs are a great go-to meal.
I like to serve these on sourdough or a thick white toast, but wholegrain bread works well too. You can even roll the filling into a soft flour tortilla if you prefer.
You can make the roast tomato salsa at home or use a good-quality store-bought version.
Green eggs ingredients
- 1 slice of bread
- 2 eggs
- 20ml milk (or a dash)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Large handful of spinach — roughly chopped

How to make green eggs
- Toast the bread — lightly toast a slice and place it on a plate.
- Whisk the eggs — beat the eggs with a splash of milk until combined.
- Cook the eggs — warm the olive oil in a small pan, pour in the eggs and stir. When they begin to set, add the chopped spinach and continue stirring until the eggs are softly scrambled and cooked through.
- Assemble — pile the green eggs onto the toast and spoon over a couple of tablespoons of tomato salsa.
Ways to customise
- Add protein: stir in a few slices of cooked chorizo or crispy bacon for extra flavour.
- Extra veggies: top with sliced avocado, chopped tomatoes or a handful of fresh herbs.
- Make it cheesy: sprinkle grated cheddar, feta or goat cheese over the hot eggs.
