Sunday Brunch: Green Eggs and Ham
Editor's note: Each Saturday morning we bring you a Sunday Brunch recipe. Why on Saturday? So you have time to shop and prepare for tomorrow.
Every once in a while it's fun to get a little whimsical with your weekend morning. This simple brunch is an homage to one of the greatest children's books every written by Dr. Seuss, Green Eggs and Ham. These eggs are cooked very slowly over low heat to give them a soft texture. Use any type of ham you prefer, but I recommend a thick sliced smoked version.
