Recipe: Veggie-Packed Scrambled Eggs for Babies
Ingredients:
- 1 egg (organic if available)
- 1 tablespoon breast milk, formula, or water (optional for a fluffier texture)
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped spinach
- 1 tablespoon grated carrot
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped zucchini (optional)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or unsalted butter
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
- Wash and finely chop your veggies into baby-friendly sizes. Grate harder veggies like carrots for easier cooking.
Step 2: Whisk the Eggs
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with a tablespoon of breast milk, formula, or water. This makes the eggs softer and fluffier for babies.
Step 3: Cook the Veggies
Heat a non-stick pan over low heat. Add the olive oil or butter. Sauté the grated carrots, spinach, and zucchini (or any other soft veggies) for 1-2 minutes until slightly tender.
Step 4: Add the Egg Mixture
Pour the whisked egg into the pan with the veggies. Gently stir with a spatula to scramble, ensuring the egg is fully cooked but still soft and moist.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
Let the scrambled eggs cool slightly before serving. Cut into small pieces or serve as-is for your baby to grab and enjoy.
Serving Tips
- Pair with a side of soft avocado slices or banana for a balanced meal.
- Use as a filling for a small tortilla to make a baby-friendly breakfast wrap.
- For older babies, sprinkle a tiny bit of mild cheese for extra flavor.
