What's in it
Tap any ingredient for its safe form at your baby's age — the recipe assumes those preps.
Steps
- 01Mash 1 hard-boiled egg with a quarter of a ripe avocado until creamy.
- 02Toast a slice of bread lightly and cut it into finger-width strips.
- 03Spread the egg-avocado mash thinly onto each strip.
- 04Hand over one strip at a time; keep the rest out of grabbing range.
Why it works
A whole egg on soft toast keeps the egg allergen exposure going in a form 9-month-olds can self-feed, and avocado's fat makes the dry yolk easy to swallow.
Storage
Assemble fresh; the egg-avocado mash keeps 24 hours in the fridge pressed under plastic wrap.
