Learn how to make the perfect scrambled eggs for baby led weaning! With this simple cooking method, you can make the best scrambled eggs that babies can easily pick up and eat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tbsp (1.5 tsp) milk
  • butter or oil, for the pan

Instructions

  1. Heat a small nonstick skillet or well seasoned cast iron skillet over medium heat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and milk until well combined.
  3. Once heated, add the oil or butter to the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom. 
  4. Pour the eggs into the skillet and allow to set up without stirring for about 10 seconds. 
  5. Using a silicone spatula, push the edges of the eggs toward the center in a round sweeping motion. 
  6. Keep cooking and sweeping toward the center until the top of the eggs appears almost dry (about 30-60 seconds), then turn off the heat.
  7. Cut the scrambled egg into strips or bite sized pieces according to baby's age/developmental stage.

Equipment

Notes

  • Use a smaller pan (about 8 inch) for anywhere from 1-4 eggs. For more eggs, use a larger pan.
  • Make sure to heat the pan before adding anything. You don't want it hot, or the eggs will burn, but you don't want low heat either. Medium to medium low is perfect.
  • A rubber or silicone spatula will help you slide the eggs around the pan without sticking.
  • Feel free to switch things up with mix-ins such as chopped fresh herbs, spices, cheese, or finely chopped, soft cooked veggies.
