Baby Egg, Apple and Rice Cereal

Directions

Ingredients :

2 apples, peeled, cored and diced

1 large egg

2 tablespoons prepared baby rice cereal or baby oatmeal (suitable for 6-month-old baby)

Methods :

Step 1

Steam or boil diced apples until very tender, about 30 minutes. Drain if necessary and mash or puree until you have your desired consistency. Let cool, then place in a sealed container in the fridge until ready to use.

Step 2

Meanwhile, place your egg in a small pot and cover with cold water. The water should be about an inch or so higher than the egg. Cover the pot with a lid. Over high heat, bring your egg to a rolling boil.

Step 3

Remove from heat and let stand for 12 minutes.

Step 4

Drain water and immediately run cold water over egg until cooled. Rapid cooling helps prevent a green ring from forming around the yolks.

Step 5

Peel egg and place in a bowl. Mash very well and set aside.

Step 6

Prepare baby rice cereal according to package directions, mixing until you have your desired consistency.

Step 7

Combine mashed egg with 1/4 cup (60 mL) apple puree and 2 Tbsp (30 mL) prepared baby rice cereal in a bowl. Mash together well until you have your desired consistency. Add a little breast milk or formula to thin if you like.
