One of the easiest ways to introduce eggs to your baby is by boiling it. While it is the most convenient and fuss free way, your baby might get bored after a while, an we don’t want that, do we? So the best solution is to slightly change things up by modifying the cooking techniques and adding some more flavors. And that’s what we’ve done with our egg yolk scramble for babies! Scrambling instead of boiling and adding some herbs and spices turns the same old egg yolk into a completely new dish!

Ingredients:

• 2 egg yolks
• 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped coriander leaves (optional)
• Pinch of black pepper to taste (optional)

3. Melt butter in a frying pan and add the beaten egg yolks to it.

4. Season with black pepper powder and salt (for babies over one year).

This egg yolk scramble for babies is a recipe that can be whipped up in just five minutes, and it’s filling enough to last a while! The butter makes it hearty enough to be eaten on it’s own but it also works as a great side dish with ghee rice or steamed dosa.

If you’re wondering about whether coriander leaves will work with your little one, try a very small quantity at first. Who knows, your baby might just turn out to be a herb-lover!
