• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons whole milk
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon butter

Method

1. 01

   Whisk egg and milk together in a shallow bowl with a pinch of cinnamon.

2. 02

   Cut a slice of soft whole-grain bread into 3–4 finger-width strips.

3. 03

   Dip each bread strip into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well coated on all sides.

4. 04

5. 05

   Cool completely on a plate before serving — test that the centre is fully cooked through.

How to offer

Lay fingers flat on the high chair tray. Always supervise during feeding. At 9 months, baby can practice picking up finger-shaped foods. Ensure the egg is fully cooked throughout — no wet or runny interior.

Storage

Best served fresh. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 1 day. Reheat gently in a pan. Not ideal for freezing.

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.
