Eggs are a great source of protein, vitamin A, selenium, phosphorus, and iron. Some pediatricians recommend introducing egg yolks into the child’s diet for six months, gradually increasing their number to half a day by the year. In the absence of allergic reactions, after a year, children can already be given a whole egg. Too many kids like to eat eggs in the form of a gentle, airy omelet.

Omelette recipe for children from a year
Egg yolk, rich in vitamins and minerals, causes fewer allergic reactions than protein, as well as many other foods. Vegetables are gradually introduced into the diet of a six-month-old child - zucchini, carrots, pumpkin, cauliflower. Grated vegetables can decorate an omelet and make its taste and appearance more attractive for a child. Try to prepare a tender and bright dish by taking:
- 2 egg yolks;
- 25 grams of grated carrots;
- 25 grams of grated squash;
- 10 grams of butter.
Beat the egg yolks in a bowl. Add finely grated vegetables and mix gently. On a very low heat, melt the butter in a small skillet. Pour in the egg-vegetable mixture and cook with minimal heat. When the mixture thickens a little, slightly move it with a spatula from the edges to the center. Bring the omelet to readiness, cool and serve.
Omelettes for preschoolers
When a child becomes older, the list of products allowed for him expands. You can cook him an omelet not only from yolk and include much more ingredients in the dish - pieces of meat and vegetables, cheese, greens. Many children love omelettes with pieces of sausages, although not all parents find this dish useful. You can prepare an omelet for a child not only on the stove, but also bake it on a baking sheet in the oven. If you later roll it into a roll, the dish will turn out unusual and, perhaps, the child will like it more than the usual simple omelet. You will need:
- 5 eggs;
- ½ cup milk 2.5% fat;
- ½ cup green peas;
- ½ cup cornstarch;
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese;
- salt and pepper.
Preheat the oven to 170 ° C. Cover the baking sheet with baking paper, allowing one edge to hang slightly on the short side of the mold. Whisk milk and starch in a bowl, add eggs, season with salt and pepper and whisk again. Pour the egg and milk mass into a baking sheet, sprinkle with peas. You can replace the peas in this recipe with slices of ham, pepper, boiled vegetables, and even if your child eats seafood, peeled boiled shrimp. Bake the dish for about 15 minutes, then sprinkle with grated cheese and bake for another 4-5 minutes until it melts. Cool slightly, grab the free edge of the parchment, lift and begin to roll the roll, removing the baking paper. The finished dish can be cut into "washers", or can be served whole.
