Celebrate the 50th anniversary of Dr. Seuss’s classic Green Eggs and Ham
Ingredients:
- 0 c (Cup) fully-cooked ham (cup finely chopped)
- 4 (Unit) 1/2-inch-thick slices soft white sandwich bread (crusts removed )
- 2 T (Tablespoon) butter (softened )
- 0 c (Cup) frozen chopped spinach (thawed and squeezed dry )
- 2 oz (Ounce) reduced-fat cream cheese, (softened )
- 3 T (Tablespoon) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
- 1 t (Teaspoon) 2% milk
- 0 T (Tablespoon) garlic powder
- 4 (Unit) medium eggs
- (Unit) freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375°F. Press white bread with palm of hand until flat and doughy, and butter both sides. Gently place in 2 1/2-inch muffin cups or 4-ounce ramekins, pressing to form 4 individual tartlet crusts.
Mix spinach, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, milk, and garlic powder in small bowl; set aside.
To assemble tarts: divide ham among the 4 bread cups in muffin cups. Crack 1 egg into each tartlet crust, season with pepper, and top with a generous spoonful of spinach mixture. Bake in oven for 12 to 14 minutes or until egg whites are firm, but yolks are still moist. Cool slightly. If using muffin cups, remove from cups to serve.
