Omelette Strips for Babies

A thin, tender omelette can be cut into soft graspable strips once the egg is cooked through. Use gentle heat so the outside does not turn tough while the centre remains undercooked.

Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp water

Preparation

  1. Crack the egg into a bowl and whisk thoroughly with the water. Wash hands and utensils after handling raw egg.

  2. Pour into a preheated nonstick pan over low to medium-low heat. Cook until fully set, turning if necessary; no runny egg should remain. For a thermometer check, egg dishes should reach 71°C (160°F) at their thickest part.

  3. Cool until comfortable to handle, then cut into soft broad strips or mash finely to match your baby's feeding skills. Check for hard browned edges and remove them if too chewy.

Serving by Age

For self-feeding, offer a soft wide strip suited to baby's grasp, or mash the fully cooked omelette for spoon feeding. Avoid rubbery, leathery or firm chunks, and keep your baby upright and supervised.

6 months+

Offer a tender, fully cooked broad omelette strip if ready for self-feeding, or finely mash for spoon feeding.

9 months+

Serve soft strips or tender pieces appropriate to the baby's chewing and grasping skills; no chewy edges.
