Soft Boiled Egg with Toast Soldiers

Ingredients

• 1 large egg
• 1 slice soft whole-grain bread
• 1 teaspoon butter (optional, to spread on toast)

Method

1. 01

   Bring a small pot of water to a full boil. Gently lower the egg in with a spoon.

2. 02

   Boil for exactly 10–12 minutes for a fully set yolk (important for babies — no runny yolk).

3. 03

   Transfer egg to cold water immediately. Peel once cool enough to handle.

4. 04

   Toast a slice of soft bread and cut into thin finger strips (soldiers) about 1 cm wide.

5. 05

   Slice the hard-boiled egg into quarters and serve alongside the toast soldiers.

How to offer

Place egg quarters and toast soldiers flat on the high chair tray. Always supervise during feeding. At 9 months, eggs should always be fully cooked. The yolk must be fully set — a firm yolk is safe, a runny yolk is not recommended for babies.

Storage

Refrigerate peeled hard-boiled egg up to 2 days. Toast is best fresh. Reheat egg in warm water for a few minutes.
