After a year, the baby's diet should be varied. Moms have a new concern: what to offer the baby for breakfast, lunch, dinner? Do not forget about a simple but tasty dish - scrambled eggs. Kids love to eat it. Choose the recipe for an omelette for a 1 year old that involves steam cooking or baking without adding soda. So you get the perfect tandem - taste plus benefits.

Eggs are considered one of the main components of the children's menu. They contain essential amino acids, vitamins B, E, A, D. The product is a source of phosphorus, potassium, calcium. All these substances are needed to maintain the functions of a growing organism.

Despite the benefits of eggs, they are a common food allergen. When including a product in the diet of crumbs, it is important to monitor how a fragile body reacts to it.

When to try

From how many months can you give an omelette to a child? If a we are talking about a dish according to a traditional recipe, then pediatricians unanimously agree on this issue: from 12 months. Although acquaintance with the main ingredient of the dish - eggs - occurs earlier. Doctors allow boiled yolk to be introduced into the diet of crumbs from the age of eight months. From this age, it is allowed for the baby to eat half the yolk every two days.

Protein can appear in the diet only after a year, because it belongs to allergen products. These recommendations of pediatricians, in fact, are the answer to the question of at what age you can give your child an omelet. Traditionally, the dish is prepared from proteins and yolks, so it should not be prepared for a baby under one year old. However, if you choose the option where only yolks are used, then you can offer the little fidget an airy dish even earlier - from eight months, instead of a boiled yolk.

Is it possible to make an omelette one year old baby, determined by the tendency of the baby to allergic reactions. Usually by the year the child's body does not react so violently to allergens. It's easy to check - give no a large number of eggs: not necessarily in the form of an omelet. Suggest boiled. If there is no allergy, then you can introduce the child to new dishes that involve changing the consistency of a familiar product.

The ideal option for an egg dish for a one-year-old baby is steam. When can a child be given an omelette cooked in a pan? Pediatricians recommend postponing acquaintance with the fried version of the dish until three years of age when the child's digestive system gets stronger.

Product selection: 4 rules

An omelet for the little ones should be useful. Of particular importance is right choice products. Remember the four rules.

1. Eggs are fresh. Buy the main component only in trusted places. Chips, cracks on the shell are unacceptable, as well as gurgling inside is unacceptable.
2. Milk is baby. To prepare the dish, special milk is taken - baby. If you plan to add rustic cow's milk to the dish, it must be boiled first.
3. Additives - low allergenic. When adding vegetables, it is important to know for sure that the baby is not allergic to them. Rashes in crumbs can, for example, provoke a red tomato. First introduce the baby to the product, and then add it to the dishes.
4. Salts - minimum. Children's food is desirable not to salt. If you decide to add salt, it should be at least. But seasonings are taboo.

If the baby has a predisposition to allergies, then it is better to replace chicken eggs, which are considered a highly allergenic product, with quail eggs. The reaction to quail eggs is rare, but the benefits are the same. It is easy to adapt recipes to the product: quail eggs are taken twice as much as indicated in the recipe, which involves the use of chicken.

Due to the cooking technology, the dish will not harm the fragile digestive system of the crumbs: it is not fried, but baked.

In favor of the multicooker is the fact that the cooking process does not need to be monitored. This is very convenient when you have a little fidget on your hands. Another plus is that in the kitchen device you can cook breakfast for the whole family at once. Below is a recipe for such a versatile breakfast.

4 cooking tricks

To make an omelet lush, tender, tasty, you need to know some tricks. Memorize four of them, and the baby will be delighted with the dish.

1. Beat egg whites separately. If you are preparing a children's omelette with the addition of proteins, then it is recommended to beat part of it separately, and then pour them into the "general" mixture. This will give the dish airiness.
2. Add butter. If you add a piece of butter to the base of two ingredients, you can get an incredibly delicate taste and light texture.
3. Cook with multiple eggs. So the dish will definitely turn out magnificent. Offer the baby a part taken from the middle - it is the most tender.
4. Don't rush to post. Regardless of the method of preparation, the dish cannot be immediately laid out on plates. You need to keep it covered. If the dish was cooked in the oven, it is not recommended to immediately open the door. Hurry - and the omelet will settle.

An omelet for a one-year-old child can be prepared with the addition of sour cream. It is used instead of milk. On sour cream, eggs rise slightly, but the dish will have a pronounced creamy taste. If the baby refuses the dish, come up with interesting presentation: let the baby see a flower or the sun in his plate.

The diet of the child is compiled so that it contains the optimal amount of vitamins, trace elements and minerals. Chicken eggs meet these requirements in full. Protein and yolk have a unique composition, which contains vitamins A, D, C, D, E, K, amino acids, minerals (calcium, phosphorus). The yolk supplies iron to the baby's body.

The best egg dish for kids is scrambled eggs. Despite the undoubted benefits of chicken eggs, their overabundance in the diet can cause allergies. A one-year-old baby is allowed to eat this product no more than 1-2 times a week. When preparing an omelette, use eggs that you are 100 percent sure are fresh. Take special baby milk. If you have the opportunity to buy milk from under a cow, be sure to boil it.

Omelet is very useful for a child, as eggs contain a large amount of vitamins.

Chicken or quail: which egg is better for a child?

The nutritional value of chicken and quail eggs is almost the same, but the latter are safer for a small organism. Quail are digested more easily, they are less allergenic, strengthen the immune system. Chicken eggs are hypoallergenic. If the baby gave a negative reaction to them, replace them with quail. True, they are smaller in size, so they will need 2 times more.

When compiling a menu for crumbs older than 1 year, you will have to take into account its taste (see also:). The time when the baby was content with mother's milk or formula is gone. Today in front of you is a little fussy, who has his own taste and preferences. However, many children love omelets. Let's cook a meal the classic way, and at the same time, we will find out how to do it in a microwave or a slow cooker.

Important details in cooking

Starting from 7-8 months, a child can cook an omelette from yolks. These are the recommendations of pediatricians. Protein is introduced closer to the year. We advise mothers:

• if eggs are taken from under poultry, check that the chicken is healthy;
• the store product must be washed to remove germs;
• use proven milk: homemade or special baby milk;
• do not add salt and spices;
• introduce other ingredients (vegetables, meat) gradually so that the baby's body gets used to it.

When choosing eggs, many mothers are guided by their own preferences, but we must not forget that quail eggs are less allergenic

Let's move on to the cooking process. We will tell you how to make an omelette in a slow cooker and microwave. We will not limit ourselves to one classic option, we will try to cook several types of omelet, with different ingredients, sometimes unexpected for mothers. Let's get acquainted with the recipe for a dietary dish that is useful for children with gastrointestinal problems.

A professional chef will tell you a lot of little tricks that help make the dish tastier, fluffier, more tender. Take note too:

1. If you are going to make a dish with minced meat or vegetables, fry them separately. Then enter into the main composition.

Baby food must strictly comply with certain requirements. The food of the child should be enriched with vitamins and essential trace elements that contribute to the growth and development of the baby. Therefore, it is a very popular problem faced by many parents. As you know, eggs contain a huge amount of vitamins and useful elements that a child’s body needs. And if the omelet is prepared for children, it is recommended to use only fresh eggs. Despite this, the amount of eggs consumed should be taken into account, since the protein can cause an allergic reaction.

According to experts, it is advisable to include an omelet in the diet of a child after he turns one year old. Changes in the diet of the baby should occur gradually. It is recommended to start with one small piece, and then observe the reaction of the baby's body. If he normally perceived the product, then the next time the portion can be increased. Over time, when the child grows up, you can add foods such as cheese, vegetables, small pieces of meat to the omelette.

Chicken or quail eggs: which is better to use?

If we consider the nutritional properties of quail and chicken eggs, it should be noted that they have their own similarities. However, some children are prone to allergies, so in such situations it is advisable to opt for a quail product. It is the most acceptable, is better absorbed by the child's body, and also helps to increase immunity. Before you think about how much you can give an omelet to a child, it must be borne in mind that quail eggs are 2 times smaller than chicken eggs, so they can be used more.

Can children have an omelette if they have rashes?

The protein included in is a fairly strong allergen. If the parents have decided at what age they can give the child an omelet, but he has an allergy, then do not despair. Sometimes this behavior of the body does not imply a complete rejection of the food product. Indeed, instead of chicken eggs, you can safely use quail eggs, which contain much more vitamins and useful trace elements. But main feature is that they are not capable of causing an allergic reaction.

The nuances of cooking a children's omelet

Is it possible to give an omelette to a child and at how many months - a problem that interferes caring parents diversify their baby's diet. According to doctors, children are recommended to give an omelette from about 7 months. The first portions should consist exclusively of the yolk, and after reaching 1 year it is recommended to add protein. Eggs must be fresh and from a healthy chicken. Before cooking, they should be thoroughly rinsed under running water to get rid of bacteria.

You can diversify the dish with milk, it is advisable to use one that is specifically designed for children, as it is less allergenic. Despite this, you should not add various seasonings and salt. After some time, it is allowed to include vegetables and pieces of chicken meat in the composition of the dish.

Children's omelet: the basic principles of cooking

It is recommended to start cooking an omelet for a child using a slow cooker, a double boiler or a conventional oven. After all, in this way the dish will turn out to be airy, light and healthy. The children's version of the omelette is made from a milk-egg mixture. On average, one egg accounts for about 60-70 g of milk. It is undesirable to add salt, however, if the baby refuses to eat an unleavened omelet, then a little salt is still allowed.

As fillers, some parents often use sweet peppers, tender cheese, fresh vegetables, herbs, or soft chicken meat. There are many omelette recipes for a 1 year old child, which are prepared on the basis of quail eggs, since this product does not cause allergies later. In this case, before baking, the mold should usually be greased with ghee or butter so that the dish does not burn.

Preparing dishes and products for making a children's omelette

Before proceeding to familiarize yourself with omelette recipes for a 1 year old child, you should prepare food and the necessary utensils in advance. From the latter, you will need a small bowl, a deep frying pan, steamer molds, a knife, a cutting board, a blender and a mixer.

Products used for the preparation of baby food must be carefully processed. Fresh vegetables and herbs should be thoroughly washed under water several times. It does not hurt to douse them with boiling water to get rid of germs and bacteria. So, vegetables should be peeled, all seeds removed and finely chopped. The greens are finely chopped, as far as possible, with a knife. Eggs and milk should preferably be taken out of the refrigerator in advance, as they should be at room temperature.

The problem related to the age at which children can be given an omelette and how to cook an omelette for a child is one of the most relevant for young mothers. After all, parents are very worried about the health of their own baby. His food should be not only tasty, but also necessarily useful. Thus, to prepare an omelette with the addition of chicken breast, it is necessary to use ingredients such as:

• two chicken eggs;
• baby milk - 150 g;
• one spoon of oatmeal;
• salt to taste;

Thus, at the first stage of cooking, you need to beat the eggs with milk and salt, then add the oatmeal and mix all the ingredients thoroughly. Vegetables must be thoroughly washed to remove germs and bacteria. Then the seeds should be removed from the pepper and cut into strips, the onion into pieces, and the dill chopped. A piece of butter is heated in a pan, after which the egg mixture is added. Until the omelette has “grabbed”, pepper and herbs should be evenly laid out. After the bottom begins to fry, the omelette should be folded in half so that the filling is on the inside. After 5 minutes, the dish can be sprinkled with chopped onions and served warm.

A green pepper decoration in the form of a star or a smile is quite suitable. From greenery you can make a tree or a dandelion. Having shown imagination, you can not only introduce a new dish into the baby’s diet, but also cheer him up.

Eggs are an important item on the children's menu. The crumbs begin to give eggs at this age: a hard-boiled yolk from 7-9 months, depending on the type of feeding, and the baby is introduced to the protein only after a year. When can an omelette be prepared for a baby, what recipe should I choose for baby food, and which eggs are best used for an omelet intended for a child?

Benefit

• The composition of the omelette contains many valuable nutrients such as vitamin A for healthy skin and better eyesight, B vitamins to improve metabolic processes and the functioning of the nervous system, and vitamin D to support healthy bones. In addition, scrambled eggs are rich in potassium, iron, copper and phosphorus.
• The omelet contains the substance lutein, known for its antioxidant properties and ability to lower blood cholesterol levels.
• Omelet is considered a light and sparing dish, so it can be included in the diet of children with diseases of the digestive tract.

• Excess consumption of protein foods, which include eggs, can adversely affect kidney function.
• Frying an omelette in a pan makes the product unhealthy due to the formation of carcinogenic compounds during heating of the oil.
• If a heat treatment scrambled eggs is insufficient, there is a risk of transmission through this dish of salmonellosis.

How many months can be introduced into the diet?

Omelettes can be included in the menu of a child who is one year old, since both cow's milk and egg white, on the advice of pediatricians, are introduced into the children's diet after 12 months.

Like any new dish, it should be given to the crumbs in small quantities. For an omelette, you need to use fresh eggs and milk intended for baby food. If you took village milk for a dish, it should be boiled first. Omelettes for babies are baked or steamed - you can introduce the baby to the fried version after 3 years.

How often can a 1 year old child eat an omelet?

The frequency of eating egg dishes, which include an omelet, depends on the consumption of eggs for a child of one year. Since children of this age are recommended to consume up to half an egg a day, in the absence of boiled eggs and other egg dishes on the menu, you can cook an omelette from 1 egg three times a week.

Are quail or chicken eggs better for complementary foods?

A chicken egg is considered a very allergenic product, so for children who have a predisposition to allergies, it is better to take a quail egg for an omelette. They cause a reaction much less often than chicken ones.

Quail eggs contain more trace elements and vitamins. At the same time, the nutritional value of these two types of eggs is similar, but quail eggs are better absorbed. It is only important to remember that for any omelette recipe, you need to replace chicken eggs with at least twice as many quail eggs.

How to cook?

Traditionally, two main ingredients are taken for an omelette - eggs and milk. If you replace milk with sour cream, then you will get a less magnificent dish, but its taste will be very delicate. Prepare a dish from several eggs at once, and give the child the middle part, as it turns out to be the most airy.

From yolks

An omelette, for which they do not take whole eggs, but only yolks, is suitable for feeding babies under one year old. You can prepare such a dish for babies at the age of 10-11 months. In addition, this version of the omelet is suitable for children with an allergy to egg white. To prepare it, beat one yolk, gradually adding about 60 ml breast milk(or infant formula) and adding a tablespoon of semolina. The whipped mixture is poured into a mold and baked in the oven.

Recipe for a couple

Beat one egg with a fork or blender for about 20 seconds, then add about 50 ml of milk to it, salt a little and continue beating. After pouring the resulting mixture into a glass dish (it is important to fill it with a maximum of half), put it in a saucepan filled with water (the water in the saucepan should also reach half the form with an omelet). Keep the omelet over low heat with the lid closed until fully cooked.

In a slow cooker

This device allows you to cook an omelette immediately for the whole family. You will need approximately 250 ml of milk and 7 eggs. Beat eggs with milk in a mixer at low speed or with a whisk. Pour the resulting mixture into an oiled multicooker bowl. Set the "baking" mode and cook the dish for 15 minutes.

Such an omelette turns out to be lush and airy, even if you do not add milk or flour to the eggs. Take 2 eggs and 75 ml of milk, beat these ingredients with a blender and pour into a greased heat-resistant form. You can add vegetables, apples, cheese and other additives to eggs.

The duration of cooking will be determined by the power of the stove, and on average it will be from 3 to 5 minutes. If you are cooking an omelette for the first time, keep an eye on its readiness. If you decide to make an omelet in the microwave without milk, beat the yolks separately, and then the whites, and then combine them.

In a double boiler

Take two eggs and two tablespoons of milk. Whisk these ingredients with a little salt. Lubricate the mold with butter, pour the egg-milk mass into it and put it in a double boiler. After 10-15 minutes, you can treat the baby with a delicious steam omelette.

In the oven

Such an omelette will turn out to be very magnificent if you do not open the oven during its baking for at least the first twenty minutes (then the dish will not settle). The omelet mold should only be filled halfway with the egg and milk mixture, as the original volume will double as it cooks.

Recipes with additives

If you want to cook an omelette with some kind of filling for your child, the ingredients for it should be prepared separately and added to the omelet in ready-made. For example, it can be frozen or fresh vegetables, which are first stewed over low heat in a cauldron or in a slow cooker, and then poured with beaten eggs with milk.

For a sweet fruit omelette, take one egg, 50 ml of milk and 100 g of fruit. Apples are great as fruit for an omelet. Take one large apple, peel and cut into slices, then stew in a small amount butter. Pour apples with beaten eggs and milk, and you can sprinkle a little grape sugar on the finished omelet.

Another interesting option for an omelette for a child older than a year is a dish with meat. For it, you need boiled chicken fillet, which is laid out in a heat-resistant form, poured on top of two beaten eggs with a small amount of milk, and then steamed or in the oven. Also, children older than a year will like an omelet with pasta, cottage cheese, low-fat cheese.

• A fresh chicken egg should not be light, and when shaken inside the egg, nothing should gurgle.
• The color of the shell does not affect the quality of the egg in any way, but in a fresh product, the shell will have a slight sheen.
• Do not buy eggs for children's omelette in questionable places. It is better to buy them from a trusted seller or store, making sure that the appropriate labels are on the product.
• Do not buy eggs that are cracked or chipped, or very dirty or washed eggs. Remember that washed eggs are stored less, as washing removes the protective film from the shell and the egg begins to deteriorate.
• Don't assume that the largest eggs are the best choice. Larger eggs contain more water and fewer nutrients, as these eggs are laid by older hens. It is best to take eggs of the second category for the baby (they are carried by young hens and such eggs have a very pleasant taste) or the first category (they have the most balanced composition).

At home, you can easily check if an egg is fresh by putting it in cool water. A good egg will sink, and if the product is not fresh, the egg will float.

From the age of 8 months, the diet of the baby replenishes the healthy and tasty yolk of chicken or quail eggs. This ingredient is added to vegetable dishes, cereals and is referred to as nutrition correctors. At the same time, kids are happy to get acquainted with dishes where eggs are the main component - scrambled eggs. This airy treat is introduced into the crumbs menu after a preliminary acquaintance with all its components. In addition, before preparing an omelette for a one-year-old child, a young mother should follow a number of recommendations for cooking and choosing products, taking into account the factor of their allergenicity.

Children's omelet - delicious nutritious and fast option breakfast. In the classic "adult" version, this dish is cooked in a pan of milk, eggs and salt with the addition of butter. The task of a young mother is to adapt an adult dish to the physiological characteristics of the baby, making it as useful as possible and no less tasty.

• Eggs. Egg white recognized as the most complete and easily digestible among animal proteins. It is necessary for a growing baby as a "building material". The yolks contain about 30% fat, as well as lecithin. It favorably affects the metabolism of fats in the body, participates in the nutrition of the cells of the nervous system, stimulates the body's resistance to infectious diseases. Whole line vitamins concentrated in the yolk, important for the full growth of a small organism. Among them are vitamins D, B, PP, E, K. The mineral substances of the yolk contain a significant part of the elements of the periodic table. Protein is classified as a highly allergenic component. Use it in the nutrition of children after a year.
• Milk. Based on them chemical composition, with whole milk no other food can be compared. This product contains over 100 valuable components. The main parts of the unique complex are proteins, fat components, milk sugar, salts, vitamin and enzyme compounds. Milk proteins are rich in essential amino acids. Milk fat consists of fatty acids, most of which are not found in animal and vegetable fats of other origin.
• Salt and spices. The sodium contained in salt is necessary for the body of the crumbs. However, it is equally important to regulate the amount of salt in the baby's menu. Babies up to a year need only 0.2 grams of salt per day. After a year, this amount increases to 0.5 grams per day, and then 0.5 grams of the product is calculated per 10 kilograms of the child's weight. What shakes spices, applying them in baby food has no special nutritional value. At the same time, there is a high probability of allergic manifestations to their components. Nutritionists recommend the use of seasonings not earlier than 9 months of age, giving preference to spices that correspond to the culinary traditions of the family and locality.
• All kinds of supplements. When adding vegetables, cereals, meat products to a children's dish, it is important to proceed from the rule of complementary foods about the possibility of mixing products already familiar to the baby's body. This approach will minimize the possibility of allergies. For example, cauliflower, zucchini or broccoli will add variety to the dish. In addition, this variant of an omelette may appeal to small “picky” who avoid vegetable dishes in their diet. Often fermented milk products are also used instead of milk: fermented baked milk, kefir, cottage cheese. Such components will make the product more magnificent.

But the addition of sausages, mushrooms, seafood is not recommended. Such ingredients will make the product excessively heavy for the baby's body and increase the likelihood of negative symptoms. In addition, too early their introduction often causes gastrointestinal upset.

Precautionary measures

Babies with a tendency to allergic reactions are advised to cook dishes only on yolks, carefully monitoring the reaction to the innovation. The prevailing belief that quail egg dishes are less allergenic is erroneous. This misconception is associated with the fact that quail eggs are less common and, accordingly, a lower percentage of allergy manifestations.

Eggs of waterfowl (goose, duck), despite the fact that they are larger and contain more nitrogenous substances and fat, are not recommended for use in baby food. The product is more often infected with bacteria of the genus Salmonella than chicken, which causes acute intestinal diseases.

Recipes with flour, semolina, and other cereals will increase the calorie content of the product. The gluten contained in some cereals is classified as a highly allergenic component, which should be considered before preparing an omelette using them. Milk is not used in the diet of children with lactase deficiency or lactose allergy.

When can you give an omelet. Optimal age

Egg yolk is introduced into the children's menu from 8 months. one year old baby already ready to get acquainted with the protein. Therefore, it is recommended to give dishes with a whole egg product no earlier than 12 months. By this age, it is allowed to include in the diet and whole milk of cows or goats. Is it possible to cook an omelette for babies with lactase deficiency, gluten allergy, with cow's milk protein intolerance, the pediatrician decides.

It is equally important from the point of view of age indicators to take into account the method of cooking. Children under 3 years old are not given products cooked in a pan. It is best to make a children's dish for a couple using a slow cooker or double boiler. In the absence of such a technique, you can successfully cook a healthy meal in a water bath. A microwave might also come in handy. At the same time, a small portion at a time is laid out to a ceramic mug. A little later, it is allowed to introduce the baby to a baked omelette from the oven, cooked in a sleeve (in a baking pact) or on a baking sheet.

Every mother knows how to cook an air omelet for the whole family. But the nutrition of the baby requires a special approach, the observance of precautionary measures. To prepare a milk and egg breakfast for crumbs correctly and safely, you should follow the following recommendations:

• For children's dishes we use only fresh products. To determine the freshness of an egg, a tablespoon of salt is dissolved in a half-liter jar of water. If the egg sinks to the bottom, it is completely fresh, if it stays somewhere in the middle - medium freshness, and floats to the top, then it is stale and not suitable for food.
• For a magnificent dish, chilled eggs are beaten with a whisk or fork. Professionals consider this option the best.
• Eggs are thoroughly washed with soap before cooking.
• How much to give an omelette to a baby depends on its age. At the same time, it is worth adhering to the rule of complementary foods about getting to know a new dish, starting with small doses. It is recommended to make egg dishes for babies no more than 3 times a week.
• Gradually, children's omelet can be made more varied by adding greens, tomatoes, chicken, cheese, etc.
• Using oils in baby food one year old, it is allowed to add no more than 6 g of a fat-containing product.
• Based on the accepted mode of eating, an omelette is offered as a breakfast. In addition, familiarity with a new product in the morning will help a young mother track down possible negative rashes, stool disorders, and sleep disturbance during the day.
