Mini Mushroom Egg Bites for Babies (12 months+)

Mushroom egg bites can be a small toddler snack when mushrooms are pre-cooked and the egg sets fully throughout. Keep each bite tender rather than rubbery.

  • DifficultyEasy
  • Allergen InformationContains: Egg, Dairy

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp pasteurised cow's milk (milk allergen)
  • 1/4 cup mushrooms, washed and finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for cooking
  • 1 tbsp mild pasteurised lower-salt cheese, finely grated (optional; contains milk)

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly oil a small mini-muffin tray. Do not rely on the colour of baked egg alone to indicate doneness.

  2. Wash and chop mushrooms very finely. Cook in a small pan until completely tender and excess moisture has evaporated; cool slightly.

  3. Whisk eggs thoroughly with pasteurised cow's milk and fold in fully cooked mushrooms and optional finely grated pasteurised cheese.

  4. Pour shallow portions into muffin cups, keeping them thin enough to cook all the way through; bake until completely firm with no wet egg centre. For egg dishes, check a safe internal temperature of 71°C (160°F) with a food thermometer where practical.

  5. Cool, remove from the tray and check each piece is tender and easily broken into soft strips or morsels without rubbery edges. Serve only within the 12m+ age range.

Serving by Age

Serve tender, completely cooked pieces to toddlers aged 12 months or older. Split one to check the centre is fully set, and cut or tear into pieces suitable for current chewing skills; supervise upright eating.

12 months+

This recipe is for 12m+ toddlers; offer only fully cooked, soft mushroom-and-egg pieces at that stage.
