Why would you want to make green eggs? Perhaps you wish to experience the wonder contingent upon reading Dr Seuss, or perhaps to try something different, but not too different. For those of you in the former category, try a soda with an orange peel; it's palatable to children, yet it has a twist. For those in the latter category, you might wish to sample soy milk; it's different, but not too different.

For everyone else who is just curious, the following recipes are for you.

The simplest way is to add green food colouring to eggs. If making scrambled eggs, add colouring before mixing to ensure consistent colour. If making eggs with whole yolks, inject the colouring with a syringe and gently rock the egg, being careful not to break the yolk, to mix the colouring with the white. Lastly, once eggs are already in the pan (whole yolks, again), inject the colouring into the yolk for the classic look.

For a more natural approach, there are boiled eggs. After boiling the eggs, allow them to slowly cool. There should be a green film around the hardened yolk. An additional layer can be added by dipping these boiled eggs in green colouring.

For a less palatable approach, you may try to replicate the following: Place a frying pan on low heat. Add a generous layer of canola oil. Crack four eggs into a mug and whisk with salt and pepper. Once whisked, pour the eggs into the pan. Cover the pan and leave on low heat for 45 minutes. The length of time appears to be the most important aspect of the process. Once removed from the heat, the eggs should be slimy, yet plastic and a nice greyish-green colour. While possible, consumption of said eggs is not encouraged.
