Instructions

A wholesome meal, this home-made egg omelette baby food recipe is simple and easy to make. The cheesy topping adds a lovely sticky and gooey texture that your baby will love. Follow this step-by-step guide to make a healthy breakfast:

• Combine the eggs, salt, and pepper in a bowl and whisk well with a fork.
• Add the onions, tomatoes, capsicum, and green chillies and mix well.
• Heat the butter in a pan. Let the butter melt and spread it evenly all around the pan.
• Pour the egg mixture as soon as the butter melts.
• Cook on a medium flame for about 2 minutes.
• Once you see the sides getting cooked (turning golden brown and coming off the pan), flip the mixture to the other side and cook for 2 more minutes.
• Once cooked, sprinkle the cheese and dried herbs over the omelette.
• Fold the omelette into a semi-circle and cook lightly on a low flame for about 30 seconds.
• Serve immediately with bread slices or ketchup.

Recipe Tips

• The dish tastes better with vegetables and is healthier. You can add vegetables of your choice, and your baby wouldn’t even realise he ate some.
• Whisk the eggs well until they froth. If the eggs are whisked well, the omelette will turn out soft.
• You can opt to skip the dried herbs if you want. But, adding them will give a nice aroma and flavour to the omelette.
• You can also choose to skip the cheese, but adding the cheese will make it tastier, and your kid will like the creamy texture.
• You can add a dash of milk to the mixture before making the omelette as it tends to make it richer in taste.
