Eggs for Babies: 10 Easy Recipes (4+ months)

Eggs for Baby-Led Weaning

Eggs are an absolutely perfect food for baby-led weaning. Soft for baby to eat (with or without teeth) and easy for them to grab onto using either their pinch grip (fingers) or palmer grasp (hand). Some of my favorite ways to serve eggs to babies for baby-led weaning is mashed with yogurt and handed to baby on a self-feeding spoon, mashed with avocado and served on toast, hard-boiled and served in strips or chunks, scrambled, made into egg roll-ups, pancakes or egg cups. So many fun ways for baby to explore the taste of eggs all by themselves!

Eggs for Toddlers

Eggs are still a great source of protein and complete nutrients for toddlers and kids! While sometimes toddlers can turn their noses up to eggs around 1 year of age because of eggs unique smell, the great thing is that there are so many ways to serve eggs, you are bond to find one that your little one likes.

Mashed Egg and Yogurt

A simple recipe that you can spoon-feed to baby or pre-load on a self-feeding spoon and hand to baby so they can feed themselves.

In this recipe, we mash half of a hard-boiled egg (you can use just the yolk or the entire egg for a chunkier puree) with yogurt to get a delicious creamy consistency. You can also mash the hard-boiled egg with a few white beans, soft tofu, chicken or any thick puree you have on hand. If the mixture is too thick, you may need to add in a few drops of breastmilk, formula or water.

Scrambled Eggs

An easy way to make a meal for both you and your little one. These scrambled eggs are fluffy and soft yet firm enough for baby to hold.

Egg and Avocado on Toast

Might as well start them out early with an avocado toast addiction;). Made with two nutrient-dense foods – avocados and eggs, this easy spread on a piece of multi-grain toast is going to be a hit with baby.

To make, simply mash together a wedge of avocado and half of a hard-boiled egg yolk (can also use the entire egg) and spoon onto a piece of toast (cut into stripes). Hand the dry side of the toast to baby to try to keep the mess down and for an easier grip.

Mix Things Up: feel free to use a bit of yogurt, white beans, tofu, goat cheese, banana or ricotta in this recipe instead of the avocado.

Hard-Boiled Eggs

Hard-boiled eggs are an easy way to serve eggs to baby. You can cut them into long strips or into chunks for baby to pick up with their pincher grip.

Broccoli Egg Cups

• 6 large eggs

• 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions

Egg with Mango Puree

• In a blender or food processor, add the cooked egg yolk and mango. Starting on low and increasing to high, blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy.

Mashed Egg and Yogurt

• On a cutting board, place the hard-boiled egg yolk and the yogurt. Using the back of a fork, mash the two together until completely incorporated. You can leave it chunky or mash until smooth. Serve with a baby spoon or a self-feeding spoon for baby-led weaning.

Scrambled Eggs

• In a small bowl, add in the eggs and yogurt. Going in only one direction, whisk the mixture with a fork. Heat a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add in butter and let it melt. When it is bubbling, add in the whisked eggs and let the eggs cook for 15 seconds, then using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold the eggs from the outside of the skillet towards the middle. The uncooked eggs will go where the spatula was and the cooked eggs will go towards the center. Continue with this motion until most of the eggs are in the middle. Gently fold the pile over itself until you have soft yet firm eggs. You want the eggs firm enough to be able to be picked up by your baby.

Egg and Avocado on Toast

• On a cutting board, place the hard-boiled egg or just the yolk and avocado. Using the back of a fork, mash the two together until completely incorporated. You can leave chunky or smooth depending on preference. Scoop the mixture up with the fork and place on the end of a piece of toast. Hand baby the dry side of the toast.

Banana + Egg Pancakes

• In a medium bowl, mash the banana until very smooth with only a few lumps. Add in the flour, egg and a pinch of cinnamon (optional). Mix with a fork or whisk, mix until everything is combined. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat, spray with cooking spray or add a little butter, if needed. Drop one tablespoon of batter on the skillet and let cook for 3-4 minutes or until the sides are starting to become firm and the bottoms are golden brown. You will not see any bubbles like traditional pancakes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. 

Egg Roll-Ups

• Preheat a small non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Spray the skillet or grease with 1/2 teaspoon of oil or butter. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together. Spoon half of the egg mixture into the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Sprinkle the cheese on top of the eggs (if using), cover the pan with a lid, and cook for 2 more minutes. Using a spatula, carefully slid the flat egg onto a cutting board. Let cool slightly for 1-2 minutes but no more or the egg will be too cool to roll. Starting on one side of the egg disc, start rolling the egg as tightly as you can until completely rolled up. Place seam side down and let cool slightly. As it cools, the egg roll-up will hold it’s shaped. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining egg mixture. Cut one egg roll in half and serve to baby.

Broccoli Egg Cups

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line 8 muffin tins with silicone muffin molds or generously spray to prevent sticking. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together. Add in the broccoli and cheese and stir until combined. Pour the egg mixture into the muffin tins until 3/4 the way full. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until eggs have set and the cheese is golden brown.
