Avocado & Egg Toast Fingers

Ingredients

• 1 slice whole-grain bread
• 1/2 ripe avocado
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Method

1. 01

   Toast a slice of whole-grain bread until golden and slightly firm.

2. 02

   Halve a ripe avocado, remove the pit, and mash the flesh with a fork until smooth.

3. 03

   Spread the mashed avocado generously over the toast.

4. 04

   Fry or scramble an egg in a little olive oil over low heat until fully cooked through.

5. 05

   Place the cooked egg on top of the avocado toast, then cut the whole slice into finger-width strips before serving.

How to offer

Lay toast fingers flat on the high chair tray so baby can pick them up easily. Always supervise during feeding. At 9 months, babies can manage finger-width strips. The egg should be fully cooked with no runny whites.

Storage

Best served fresh. Avocado browns quickly — assemble just before serving. Leftovers not recommended.

Nutrition note

When it is a part of a balanced diet, bread is good for infants. All bread provides a good amount of carbohydrates along with some fiber and protein. Choose bread for your infant that has a limited number of ingredients. Breads with large seeds (like sunflower seeds), honey, or high sodium content should be avoided. Bakery-bought or homemade sourdough is less processed and typically contains less sugars and preservatives than bread baked with baker's yeast.
