Eggy bread is a suitable for babies 6 months old+ showing all readiness signs to start baby led weaning. Please note, egg is a potential allergy food for some babies, especially those with a family history of egg. Current recommendations suggest to offer allergy foods consistently as early as from 6 months old to avoid allergy development. Read more about allergy foods under research and allergies on my website.
Ingredients
- 1x slice of wholemeal bread (either homemade bread or fresh bread from the bakery)
- 1x egg
- 1x bunch of fresh spinach or cut up frozen spinach
Directions
- Step 1 In a bowl mix spinach and egg together, once combined soak one side of the slice of bread in the mixture, leave for 30sec and flip over and soak the other side – soaking up most of the egg.
- Step 2 Prepare a non-stick pan with a little olive oil and pan fry the eggy spinach bread – 1min one side, flip, and then 1min on the other side.
- Step 3 For babies 6-8 months old (pre-pincer grip) cut eggy bread into long finger pieces so baby can pick it up himself and wrap his fist around it (as per picture above). For babies 8 months + (pincer grip practice) you can start to offer in smaller size pieces (2cm pieces) so baby can start to practice her pincer grip.
Hello, can you make a big batch and freeze? Thanks 🙂
Sure can! Freeze for up to 3 months. To defrost leave in fridge over night, then serve cold or heat up in microwave on 15 seconds x
