Second egg: whole egg, soft-scrambled
- Age: 6–8 months (First tastes)
- Texture: Mash
- Prep: 2 min
- Cook: 4 min
- Makes: 1 introduction
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp your baby's usual milk
- 1 tsp unsalted butter
Contains: Egg, Milk
Method
- Beat the egg with the milk.
- Cook in the butter over low heat, stirring, until fully set with no wet patches.
- Mash with a fork to a soft crumb and cool to lukewarm. Offer a small amount in the morning, on a day you are at home, and wait a few minutes before offering more.
Safety: Cooked right through — no runny egg for a baby.
Storage: Serve fresh.
Tip: Yolk was the first step; this is the whole egg, white included. Most of the allergenic protein is in the white, so this is the offer to watch more closely.
