SWEET POTATO-GREEN ONION PANCAKES WITH POACHED EGGS, HOLIDAY HAM AND PEPPER JAM
Steps:
- For the pancakes: Combine 4 cups cold water and 1 tablespoon kosher salt in a large bowl and stir until the salt dissolves. Stir in the sweet potato and let sit for 15 minutes. Drain, then dump onto a large piece of cheesecloth and wring out as much water as possible.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Whisk together the eggs, onion and some pepper in a large bowl. Add the sweet potato and flour, and mix until combined. Fold in the green onions.
- Heat a few tablespoons each of butter and oil until shimmering in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Using a scant 1/4 cup per pancake, add the sweet potato mixture to the pan, leaving some space in between. Flatten slightly and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels, then transfer the pancakes to a baking sheet and place in the oven for 5 minutes to finish cooking.
- For the eggs: Fill a high-sided skillet halfway with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat; add the vinegar. Line a plate with paper towels. Break each egg into a little ramekin or cup.
- One at a time, slip the eggs into the water, leaving space between them; adjust the heat to a bare simmer. Cook until the whites are set and the yolks still runny, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs to paper towels to blot off the water.
- To serve: Put the pancakes on a serving platter. Top 4 of them with a smear of pepper jelly, a few slices of ham and a poached egg. Season with salt and pepper. Top with another pancake to make sandwiches (see Cook's Note).

Steps:
- 1. Heat a 10 inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Follow your skillets instructions, coat with cooking spray or use just a bit of oil. Whisk the eggs, milk and pesto together. Add to the skillet. The mixture should set immediately at the edges.
- 2. As the eggs set, push the cooked edges toward the center, letting the uncooked portion flow underneath -- like when you make an omelet. When eggs are set and the top appears glossy, remove them from the skillet and cut them into quarters.
- 3. On each English muffin bottom, layer half a slice of ham, eggs, and cheese. Replace the tops. Place in the microwave for about 10-12 seconds to melt the cheese. Enjoy!
HUEVOS VERDE CON JAMóN (GREEN EGGS AND HAM)
I love Huevos Rancheros, Eggs with Tomatillo Salsa and Quesadillas so I decided to take parts of each recipe and see what I could come up with.

- 7. Green (Tomatillo) Sauce Directions: (I make this ahead of time and keep it in the fridge to use on this and many other dishes.)
- 8. In a medium saucepan add fresh tomatillos, chiles, and enough water to just cover. Lightly salt.

Tips:
- To make perfect green eggs, use fresh eggs and food coloring gel. Liquid or powder food coloring can make the eggs too watery or chalky. - For the ham, use a high-quality smoked ham steak or deli ham. - If you don't have a griddle, you can cook the ham in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. - To make the hash browns, use a russet potato that is firm and starchy. - Shred the potato on the large holes of a box grater. - Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the hash browns. Cook them in batches if necessary. - Season the hash browns with salt, pepper, and paprika for a classic flavor. - Serve the green eggs and ham with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, avocado, sour cream, or cheese.Conclusion:
Green eggs and ham is a fun and unique breakfast recipe that is perfect for kids and adults alike. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and memorable meal. So next time you're looking for something new to try, give green eggs and ham a try!
