Talk to me about eggs...
DH and I don't eat them AT ALL, but I'd like to start branching out and making more things for DS. He will be a year this Sunday. They can have eggs at this age, correct?
If so, what is the best way you prepare eggs for your LO? I am so dumb, I don't even know how to scramble them..haha!

Re: Talk to me about eggs...
ack, posted before i was ready!
i had typed out such wonderful instructions, too
I just scrambled one whole egg, then cooked with a bit of shredded cheese and DS loved it, unfortunately his face broke out in hives immediately after eating it, so the doctor said no more eggs until his next appt, and we will discuss options then.
To scramble, you just sort of mix it up forcefully with a fork or whisk, then cook in a non stick pan or a pan sprayed with pam until it is not wet anymore, stirring while it cooks.
We make ds eggs all the time. He has omelets with cheese, bell peppers, spinach, ground turkey (leftovers) or whatever we have on hand. He has hard boiled eggs chopped up and spread onto toast. He has scrambled eggs with cheese and sometimes spinach or brocolli. Look up recipes for omelets, scrambled eggs, ect to see how versatile they are. Its a really easy meal for your lo once you get the hang of it.
I believe that prior to a yr they can have yolks, after a year they can have the whole thing.
I usually scramble them for P. He isn't a huge fan but I try to make him eat some so he can get the protein. His favorite way to eat them is hard boiled.
I don't know if DS would have been ready right at 1 year but I just made my first quiche and DS went crazy over it! He ate more broccoli last night than he has in his whole life!
It is definitely an easy dish with an egg base, and you can hide tons of veggies in there, too!
I fry eggs for DS instead of scramble them. Scrambled eggs always have too delicate of a texture and DS ends up making a big mess of them.
My technique...I heat up a pan with a bit of butter or oil then crack a while egg into it. I use my spatula to break the yolk and let it cook until the top has solidified and is fairly firm. I pour a tablespoon or two of water around the egg (the bubbling/steaming helps loosen the egg from the pan and keeps the edges from getting too tough. I flip the egg, cook until done, remove from pan, cool, and cut into bite size pieces. Sometimes I put some shredded cheese on top of the egg and fold it over omelet style before cooling and cutting.
