Eggy Bread for Babies

Share this post with your friends!

Eggy bread or baby French toast is such a simple way to offer something a little bit different for breakfast. Using only a few ingredients, this eggy bread for babies is ready in less than 10 minutes and is an excellent way to offer eggs to your baby.

Eggy Bread Baby Breakfast Food

Eggy bread for babies is a great finger food and your baby should find it easy to hold the strips to feed himself if you are doing baby led weaning or moving onto table foods.

The recipe uses egg, milk (of which you can use any milk such as formula, breastmilk or dairy alternative) and of course, bread. I always find white bread works best with this sort of recipe, especially the crusty kind that you get from the supermarket bakery.

What can you serve along side eggy bread for babies?

Alongside eggy bread, I always offer fruit such as bananas or blueberries which complement the eggy bread well. I always squish blueberries before offering them and with bananas I stick my finger down the middle of it so it naturally splits in three perfectly sized, finger length pieces.

This is a very simple and basic recipe for baby French toast, you can find many variations using beetroot, spinach and banana which I have shared below, so make sure you check out those recipes too for something a little different.

It is fine to offer eggs from six months+ but of course if you have any allergies in your family, always check with your doctor, paediatrician or health visitor first and if your baby has any sort of reaction, seek medical attention.
