1
First, you'll want to make some toast.
-
2
You can use just about any bread for this, but try to pick a whole grain variety for the most nutrition.
-
3
If your child doesn't like (or isn't ready for) the texture of whole grain bread, try one that aims for the texture of white bread, but still uses whole grains.
-
4
You'll want to make a bit of a depression in the middle of your toast with a fork or spoon.
-
5
Take care not to smoosh the edges or your egg will escape later.
-
6
You can add butter to the toast if you want, but I usually don't for the little ones.
-
7
They don't seem to notice and unless your child is in the smaller weight percentiles, it's just added fat that isn't needed.
-
8
Crack an egg and let it gently fill the hole you made in the toast.
-
9
Large or medium grade eggs work great, but jumbo grade eggs will overflow if you're using a standard sized piece of bread.
-
10
Prick the yolk with a toothpick or fork if desired.
-
11
Microwave for about a minute on medium high or 70 percent power.
-
12
This varies from microwave to microwave, of course, so the first few times you make it you may have to experiment a bit.
-
13
Remove it from the microwave and make sure that the whites are completely cooked.
-
14
Allow it to cool.
-
15
At this point, you can add some seasoning or not.
-
16
It's not really necessary at all, but since this is a bit of a bland meal, you can experiment a little if you want.
-
17
Perhaps with paprika or cumin or tarragon.
-
18
If you are still cutting up your toddler's food, then certainly do that.
-
19
If your toddler is handling biting off pieces of toast, then this meal is one that can be eaten that way, too.
-
20
Usually, the yolk is firm enough that it's not a mess and can be picked up.
