I already wrote before how to cook an omelet for a child from 2 years old in the oven -. Today the easiest steam omelette for a child , which can be offered from a year. Until a year old, it is better not to introduce egg white and cow's milk into the diet for children, so an omelette is not suitable for a child under one year old. So we figured out whether children can have an omelette and when it can be given to a child. Of course, it can be steamed from a year, and already from two years we cook in the oven, closer to three years you can fried. Although an omelette cooked according to this recipe in a double boiler for a child is not only healthier, but also much tastier than fried. It turns out very tender, juicy, its preparation takes a minimum of time.

This is the basic recipe, it was with him that I began to meet my daughters. Be sure to start with a small amount to feed and monitor the reaction of the child. If there is no allergic reaction later, you can diversify the omelette and cook it with carrots, zucchini, spinach, etc. It turns out a great dish for dinner. My aunt lives in the suburbs and supplies us with home-made chicken eggs, of course, they cannot be compared with store-bought ones. Omelette for a child 1 year is better to cook from quail eggs, they are less likely to cause allergies. Instead of 1 chicken, take 4 quail eggs. I wrote about the benefits of chicken eggs in the Princess and the Pea recipe, more about the benefits. So, how to cook an omelette for a child.

Omelette for a child - recipe.

omelet recipe for kids

1. We wash the eggs well under running water. Break them into a bowl and beat for 20 seconds with a mixer at medium speed. True, this is not necessarily possible with just a fork.

2. Salt a little and whisk again a little.

3. Add milk, whisk a third time again for 20 seconds.

4. I cook an omelette in a double boiler for a child. Therefore, we take 2 glass bowls, you can use cups, grease them with butter, pour our omelette mixture and put in a double boiler for 15-20 minutes. If you do not have a double boiler, we make a simple steam bath. We select a small in diameter, but deep pan, so that any enameled or glass bowl with a lid can stand on it, in which we will cook an omelet. Pour 1/3 of the water into the pan, bring to a boil and put the bowl with the egg mixture, also previously greased with oil. Cover with a lid and make a small fire so that the water from the pan does not splash out.

If you have little time for this recipe, you can make an omelette for children in the microwave. To do this, you need a bowl with a lid suitable for the microwave. I use the bowl you see in the photo and cover it with a saucer. We put it in the microwave for 2-3 minutes, that's it, the omelet for the child in the microwave is ready. It’s only better to cook it rarely, when there is absolutely no time, yet the effect of microwaves on the stomach has not been fully studied, so steaming is much more useful.

For children, omelet can be served in molds or tartlets. Depending on the preferences of the child, vegetables, cottage cheese, cheese and even pasta are added to the dish. Sweet fruit omelettes are prepared upon request.

At the beginning of feeding, children are allowed only yolks, as the least allergenic component of eggs. The time when you can give an omelette to a child, add whole eggs to other dishes, comes after 1 year. At the same time, the baby's need for easily digestible proteins increases, which can be easily satisfied with egg dishes.

Timing of the introduction of eggs in the diet

Poultry eggs have a high biological value. They are considered by pediatricians as a source of high quality proteins for children. Proteins are the structural components of all living cells, therefore they are vital for the full physical and mental development of the baby. Protein reserves in the body are minimal. As soon as it becomes insufficient in the diet, muscle tissue begins to disintegrate. Egg protein is complete, that is, it contains a complete list of essential amino acids. Its nutritional value and ease of digestion are comparable to breast milk proteins.

Other substances in the composition of eggs that have a significant effect on the development of the child:

Useful material		Effect on the body
Lipids		High levels of phospholipids, beneficial unsaturated fatty acids predominate. They are involved in metabolism, are responsible for immunity, improve brain function.
vitamins	B2	Necessary for the growth of the child, the formation of his nervous system. Participates in protein metabolism.
	B12	The work of the nervous system, participation in the formation of red blood cells.
	A	Good vision, low susceptibility to infections, healthy skin and mucous membranes. In mothers with vitamin A deficiency, its intake in milk after 6 months is insufficient. Unlike vegetables, eggs contain the vitamin in a "ready" form.
Zinc		Skin regeneration, physical development.
Sodium		Acid-base balance, all types of electrical activity of cells.

Eggs are introduced into the diet of infants no earlier than 8 months. By this time, the baby should be familiar with the main vegetables, fruits, cereals, meat. Start complementary foods with egg yolk. For children up to a year, four chicken or 10 quail yolks per week are enough. They can be added to soups, vegetable purees, and yolk omelettes.

In the absence of an allergic reaction to the yolk, children from the age of 1 begin to introduce protein. At first, it is gradually added to dishes, tracking possible allergies. If there are no adverse reactions, you can enter dishes from whole eggs - omelettes, casseroles, puddings.

Only heat-treated eggs are allowed for children, as raw eggs can cause salmonellosis. Preferred cooking methods are roasting, boiling and steaming. Fried foods are undesirable before the age of three.

How to choose products

Requirements for products from which an omelet is prepared for a one-year-old child:

1. Eggs for making omelets are preferable for industrial production, since chickens in poultry farms are vaccinated and tested for dangerous diseases without fail. It is believed that the eggs of free-range chickens are more useful. In the child's menu, you can use only eggs from your own farmstead, and not bought on the market. Eggs that have been stored for less than a week are considered dietary.
2. Milk for children under 2 years of age is given a natural fat content of about 3.5% to meet the increased need for lipids. After 2 years, dairy products with reduced fat content, but not completely fat-free, are preferred.
3. Additional components of an omelet are boiled meat, vegetables with which the child is familiar and tolerates well. Sausages at this age are prohibited. An omelette for children at 1 year old can also be a sweet dish. In this case, fruit purees are added to it, watered with jelly or syrup.
4. Salt is an essential component of adult dishes. It is a source of sodium, seasoning and even an antiseptic. In children, salt is undesirable to use during complementary feeding. From the age of 1, the use of salt in the diet is limited, dishes are prepared with the most natural taste. If you are making an omelet for everyone, remove the child's portion first and then put in the spices and salt for the rest of the family.

To prepare it, you need 1 banana, 2 eggs, any natural fruit syrup. Finely chop the banana, put in a bowl. Whisk in the eggs, and stir with a fork until smooth. We grease the form with oil, put the mixture into it and prepare it in any convenient way. Serve the finished omelet with caramel or fruit syrup.

Another recipe for a sweet omelet for children came to us from Canada. It is prepared simply: put the pan on the fire, pour 3 tablespoons of maple syrup into it and let it heat up. Beat in 2 eggs and cook over low heat, stirring constantly. The protein should seize, not fry. At the end, we form a thick pancake from the mixture, transfer it to a plate, put a piece of butter on top. Thanks to the syrup, the omelet is sweet, with a pronounced caramel flavor.

Omelet in water and on water

The original recipe for an omelet for a child at 1 year old without milk. It is not made in the form, like the previous ones, but in a baking bag. To prepare an omelette, mix well, but do not beat 5 eggs, pour in a third of a glass of water, and mix again. Then pour the mixture into the bag, after checking it for the absence of holes, we tie it with a thread.

We place the bag for 20 minutes in a pot of boiling water so that the egg mixture is completely in the water, and the tie remains on top. After 20 minutes, take out the omelet, cut into portions and put in the refrigerator. A dish prepared according to this recipe can be eaten cold, reheated without losing taste and shape.
