# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Kids will actually eat it because a storybook came to life on their plate, turning any snack into an adventure.
  • You can throw it together in under twenty minutes, making it perfect for last-minute playdates or when you need something special fast.
02 -
  • Natural spinach-based green coloring tastes better and looks less artificial, but if you use gel food coloring go easy because a tiny drop goes a long way and too much tastes bitter.
  • The biggest mistake is scrambling the eggs too long because they turn rubbery, so pull them off the heat when they still look slightly soft and they'll finish cooking in the residual heat.
03 -
  • If a child is hesitant about eating something green, let them help make it from the start because ownership makes them brave about tasting it.
  • Keep a small squeeze bottle of hot sauce or sriracha mayo on the side for the adults who want to sneak a bite because this plate works for every age when you adjust the seasonings.
