Cheesy nutmeg scrambled eggs for babies! This is a great protein packed meal for a baby or toddler, made extra appetizing with cheese and nutmeg for those foodie babies who love a little extra flavor. The perfect way to introduce eggs to your baby, they can be cooked in a couple of different ways to be most suitable for spoon feeding or baby led weaning.

Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp whole milk
  • 1 Tbsp grated cheese, see notes
  • A few pinches of nutmeg, optional

Instructions 

  • Whisk all ingredients in a bowl.
  • Grease a small frying pan with a little butter. Heat to a low-medium heat.
  • Method 1: Pour the egg mixture into the pan and use a silicone whisk to constantly mix and whisk the eggs as they cook for a fluffy, soft finish with lots of small distinct pieces.
  • Method 2: Pour the egg mixture into the pan and allow the eggs to sit for around 15 seconds, then use a spatula to very gently stir and fold the eggs, while allowing them to break into larger distinct pieces, repeating a few times until they're cooked.
  • Method 3: Pour the egg mixture into the pan and allow the eggs to sit for around 15 seconds, then use a spatula to very slowly and gently move them around the pan and fold them on top of themselves to create a few larger masses of eggs. Aim for a square or rectangle shape but it can be very loose! Remove from the pan and slice into strips.

Notes

Please note the photos and video reflect a double batch of the recipe! I would normally only make one egg for a small baby, but two for a toddler or preschooler.
You want a cheese that melts nicely to ensure a creamy, soft finish. I like to use a grated mature cheddar cheese. Gouda would also work well.
