Mini Red Pepper Egg Muffins for Babies (10 months+)

Soft red pepper and egg bake into little toddler-style muffins, but the egg must be fully set and the pepper cooked until tender. This version uses cow's milk, making the existing milk allergen tag accurate.

  • DifficultyEasy
  • Allergen InformationContains: Egg, Dairy

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp peeled, finely chopped fully cooked red bell pepper
  • 1 tbsp pasteurised cow's milk (contains milk)
  • 1 tbsp mild pasteurised finely grated lower-salt cheese (optional; milk)
  • 1 tsp olive oil for greasing

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a mini-muffin pan lightly.

  2. Use fully cooked peeled red pepper with no firm skin, seeds or fibrous pieces; finely chop.

  3. Whisk eggs and pasteurised cow's milk thoroughly and fold in red pepper and optional mild grated cheese.

  4. Fill shallow mini-muffin cups and bake until the centre is fully set; where measurable, egg dishes should reach 71°C (160°F) internally. Cook longer than the estimate if any wet egg remains.

  5. Cool thoroughly, split one open to check the middle and offer soft strips or tender pieces without rubbery browned crust.

Serving by Age

For a developmentally ready baby aged 10m+, offer soft completely set egg pieces rather than firm rubbery mini muffins. Check for no wet egg centre or hard pepper peel, and supervise upright eating.

10 months+

The recipe begins at 10m+; then serve fully cooked tender egg-and-pepper pieces that tear apart easily.
