At 1 year old, the baby’s main menu is still milk and dairy products. But vegetable and fruit complementary foods have already been introduced. It's time to introduce your baby to a new dish. This dish can be the well-known omelet. Almost all kids like it. Unfortunately, it is not suitable for everyone - you must first make sure that the child is not allergic to chicken eggs. Omelette is not only a tasty and beautiful food, but also has a consistency that even the tiniest kids can easily chew.

Experts do not recommend feeding children egg dishes until they are 7 months old. Above this age, you can gradually give the yolk in small portions. In the absence of allergic reactions, the dose is increased, but it should be no more than one yolk per week.

Protein is allowed to be included in a child’s menu no earlier than one year of age. It is difficult for a small organism to digest and can cause complex allergic reactions. It is because of this that a mixture of eggs and milk is allowed to be offered to a child from 12 months.

Typically, an omelet for a one-year-old child is prepared from the following components:

• egg;
• milk;
• oil;
• a little salt.

There are many simple but incredibly delicious recipes for making an omelet for a child. It must be remembered that it is best to give your baby freshly prepared food. In this regard, the dosages in the recipes will be for preparing one serving of the dish. At first, the baby will have a lot of this, but it’s okay, because a high-quality omelet will appeal to any family member.

Cooking an omelet in a frying pan

His recipe is extremely simple: you need to take a chicken egg (the eggs must certainly be fresh, or even better, rustic) and completely break it into a bowl. Add a couple of tablespoons of milk, a little salt and beat the resulting mass with a blender until smooth.

Very important: the eggs must be washed thoroughly with soap and running water!

Place a frying pan on the fire, preferably the smallest one available. Grease it with butter and pour the resulting mixture. Covered over medium heat, the dish will cook for no more than 7–10 minutes. It is generally accepted that it is better to transfer the finished omelette to a warm plate, because on a cold plate it will quickly lose its fluffiness. If you have time and opportunity, be sure to use this trick.

Omelet recipe in a slow cooker

This recipe is the easiest. All that is required to prepare is to place the butter in the included bowl. When it melts, brush the entire area with a brush. After which the mixture from the previous recipe must be poured inside. Turn on the baking mode for 10 minutes - a tasty and healthy dish is ready.

Steamed omelette for a child

Instead of a slow cooker, you can use a double boiler. It's not difficult at all: beat an egg, salt and a little milk. Take a glass container that can be placed in a double boiler, melt the butter in it and then pour in the mixture. In 20 minutes, a delicious and fluffy omelette for your child will be ready.

Interesting fact: the most risen omelette is obtained in a double boiler. As it cools, it will fall off, but its taste will remain unchanged.

If you don't have a steamer, no problem. You can use a regular steam bath. This is done like this: take a pan and fill it a little less than half with water. Then put a bowl on top, grease with oil and pour in the omelette mixture. Close the lid and wait over low heat for about 10 minutes. The omelet turns out light and tender.

The fastest way is to cook the dish in the microwave. In addition to being fast, it is also economical, since it does not require oil. In this regard, the finished dish will be less fatty, but the taste will still remain at a high level.

If your child is prone to allergies, and you do not risk cooking him dishes from chicken eggs, you can use quail eggs. They are much less likely to lead to allergies. To prepare a children's dish from quail eggs, you need to take 3-4 quail eggs per serving. There are no more differences in preparing an omelet. To make the dish more satisfying, meat or vegetables are often added to it, but this is for older children.

When choosing a suitable recipe and cooking method, parents should take into account not only their wishes, but also the characteristics of the child’s body. Only in this case the dish will bring the greatest benefit.

Egg whites and yolks are very healthy for babies. You can prepare an omelet for a one-year-old child by steaming, in the oven or in the microwave. In any case, the result will be a tasty dish rich in microelements necessary for growth.

Doctors do not recommend giving children chicken eggs before 7 months of age. From 7-8 months, the baby is offered small pieces of egg yolk. If there is no allergy, the amount of yolk in the baby’s diet is gradually increased (but not more than 1 piece per week).

You only need to steam an omelet for kids. From 2 years old you can connect the oven to this process, and from 3 years old you can fry in a frying pan. A microwave dish is suitable for children of any age: fast, tasty and not troublesome.

For 1 serving, 1 chicken egg or 2-3 quail eggs is enough. Recent doctors recommend it for baby food as a low-allergenic and very healthy product.

At the beginning of complementary feeding, children are allowed only yolks, as the least allergenic component of eggs. The time when you can give an omelet to your child or add whole eggs to other dishes comes after 1 year. At the same time, the baby’s need for easily digestible proteins increases, which can be easily satisfied with egg dishes.

Timing for introducing eggs into the diet

Poultry eggs have high biological value. Pediatricians consider them a source of high-quality proteins for children. Proteins are structural components of all living cells, therefore they are vital for the full physical and mental development of the infant. Protein reserves in the body are minimal. As soon as there is not enough of it in the diet, muscle tissue begins to break down. Egg whites are complete, meaning they contain a full list of essential amino acids. Its nutritional value and ease of digestion are comparable to breast milk proteins.

Other substances in eggs that have a significant impact on the development of the child:

Useful material		Effect on the body
Lipids		High level of phospholipids, healthy unsaturated fatty acids predominate. They are involved in metabolism, are responsible for immunity, and improve brain function.
Vitamins	B2	Necessary for the growth of a child and the development of his nervous system. Participates in protein metabolism.
	B12	The work of the nervous system, participation in the process of formation of red blood cells.
	A	Good vision, low susceptibility to infections, healthy skin and mucous membranes. In mothers with vitamin A deficiency, the supply of vitamin A in milk after 6 months is insufficient. Unlike vegetables, eggs contain the vitamin in a “ready” form.
Zinc		Skin regeneration, physical development.
Sodium		Acid-base balance, all types of electrical activity of cells.

Eggs are introduced into the diet of infants no earlier than 8 months. By this time, the baby should be familiar with basic vegetables, fruits, grains, and meat. Complementary feeding begins with egg yolk. For children under one year old, four chicken or 10 quail yolks per week is enough. They can be added to soups, vegetable purees, and made into yolk omelettes.

In the absence of an allergic reaction to the yolk, children from 1 year of age begin to receive protein. At first, it is added little by little to dishes, monitoring for possible allergies. If there are no adverse reactions, you can introduce dishes made from whole eggs - omelettes, casseroles, puddings.

Children are allowed only heat-treated eggs, as raw ones can cause salmonellosis. Preferred cooking methods are baking, boiling and steaming. It is not advisable to give fried foods before the age of three.

How to choose products

Requirements for products from which an omelet is prepared for a one-year-old child:

1. Industrially produced eggs are preferable for making omelettes, since chickens at poultry farms are required to be vaccinated and tested for dangerous diseases. It is believed that eggs from free-range chickens are healthier. In your child’s menu, you can only use eggs from your own farmstead, and not those bought at the market. Eggs that have been stored for less than a week are considered dietary.
2. Children under 2 years of age are given milk with a natural fat content of about 3.5% to satisfy the increased need for lipids. After 2 years, dairy products with reduced fat content are preferred, but not completely fat-free.
3. Additional components of the omelet are boiled meat and vegetables, which the child is familiar with and tolerates well. Sausages are prohibited at this age. An omelet for children aged 1 year can also be a sweet dish. In this case, fruit purees are added to it, jelly or syrup is poured over it.
4. Salt is an essential component of adult dishes. It is a source of sodium, a seasoning and even an antiseptic. It is not advisable to use salt in children during the complementary feeding period. From 1 year of age, the use of salt in the diet is limited, and dishes are prepared with the most natural taste possible. If you're making an omelet for everyone, remove the child's portion first and then add the spices and salt for the rest of the family.

• additional components that are added to the omelet should not be cold;
• It’s better to cook an omelet for the whole family at once, so it will turn out more delicious.

Steam omelette

The most delicate dietary version of an omelet for a child is a steam one. If you don’t have a double boiler, you can get by with a colander and a large saucepan. Boiling water is poured into the bottom of the pan, a colander is placed on top so that it does not touch the water, and a container (bowl, silicone or glass mold) with the egg mixture is placed in it. The entire structure is covered with a lid or food foil.

Ingredients for a traditional steamed omelet: 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons of milk, a little vegetable oil, salt as desired.

2. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix.
3. Grease the mold with oil and pour the mixture into it.
4. Place in a steam bath for 20 minutes or place in a double boiler for 15 minutes.

Multicooker omelet

The undoubted advantage of this dish is its ease of preparation. While the omelette is baking, you don’t need to watch it and you can fully engage with your child. The optimal number of eggs for this recipe is 6-8 pieces, so it is better to prepare it for breakfast for the whole family.

To guarantee a juicy and fluffy omelette in a slow cooker for a child over 1 year old, the following recipe works well:

1. As usual, beat eggs with milk.
2. Pour the mixture into a bowl greased with butter.
3. Select the “baking” mode.
4. The time depends on the power of the multicooker. Usually 20 minutes is enough. The omelette should be golden on both sides, but not crusty.
5. To prevent the dish from settling, leave it for 10 minutes under the closed lid of the turned off multicooker.

This recipe for a child can be varied by adding tomatoes, sweet peppers, chicken, cauliflower or broccoli, zucchini, and hard cheese. Meat, cabbage, zucchini must first be boiled or steamed, tomatoes must be doused with boiling water and the skins removed.

Protein-free omelet

A good recipe for children under one year old and babies with protein allergies. Preparation procedure:

1. Combine the yolks and milk (proportion: 50 g of milk per 1 yolk), beat.
2. Add semolina (a teaspoon per 1 yolk), mix, and leave for 15 minutes to swell.
3. Pour into the pan and bake in the oven for about 15 minutes.

The omelet according to this recipe is dense and has a neutral taste. It can be served to a child with stewed vegetables and fruit syrup or puree.

Omelette without milk

Cow's milk is introduced into the diet of children no earlier than 9 months. If your baby is not yet familiar with this product or does not tolerate it well, you can prepare an omelet without milk.

Classic omelette with butter: beat 3 eggs, pour in 55 g of melted butter, stirring constantly. Cook in the oven or steam.

Recipe for children using formula milk:

1. We make 50 g of milk mixture using the usual proportions, dilute 0.5 tsp in it. flour.
2. Beat 1 yolk and mix with the mixture. You can add a little oil.
3. Pour the mixture into a bowl and microwave at half power for 2 minutes.

Omelette for dessert

If your baby refuses traditional omelettes, you can feed him eggs using unusual sweet recipes. One of them is the Brazilian banana omelette. To prepare it you need 1 banana, 2 eggs, any natural fruit syrup. Finely chop the banana and place it in a bowl. Add the eggs and stir with a fork until smooth. Grease the mold with oil, put the mixture in it and prepare it in any convenient way. Serve the finished omelette with caramel or fruit syrup.

Another recipe for a sweet omelet for children came to us from Canada. It's easy to prepare: put a frying pan on the fire, pour 3 tablespoons of maple syrup into it and let it heat up. Beat in 2 eggs and cook over low heat, stirring constantly. The white should set, not fry. At the end, we form a thick pancake from the mixture, transfer it to a plate, and put a piece of butter on top. Thanks to the syrup, the omelette turns out sweet, with a pronounced caramel taste.

Omelette in water and on water

An original omelet recipe for a 1 year old child without milk. It is not made in a mold, like the previous ones, but in a baking bag. To prepare an omelet, mix well, but do not beat 5 eggs, pour in a third of a glass of water, and mix again. Then pour the mixture into the bag, after checking it for holes, tie it with thread.

Place the bag in a pan of boiling water for 20 minutes so that the egg mixture is completely submerged in water and the tie remains on top. After 20 minutes, take out the omelette, cut it into portions and put it in the refrigerator. A dish prepared according to this recipe can be eaten cold or reheated without losing its taste or shape.

Omelet is easy and quick to prepare, tasty and satisfying, and at the same time a dietary dish that is great for breakfast and dinner. Eggs, which are the basis of this recipe, contain vitamins A, D, E and group B, phosphorus, potassium and calcium, amino acids and other useful elements.

Eggs are included in the diet of every child, but they are a strong allergen. Therefore, you need to be very careful when including this product on the menu for children. In this article we will look at when you can give an omelet to your child. And we’ll find out how to properly prepare this dish for babies.

When can you cook an omelet for a child?

Many parents are concerned about the question at what age can they give their child an omelet. The recipe for this dish includes eggs and milk, which can cause an allergic reaction, digestive and stool disorders. Boiled egg yolk is introduced into the baby's diet at seven to eight months; after nine months, protein can be given.

An omelet in its classic form can be given to a one-year-old child. Then other ingredients are added to the recipes, including meat, cheese and vegetables. The main thing is that the baby is not allergic to one or another ingredient. So that the components are already included in the child’s diet.

For the first time, use the classic omelet recipe and let your little one try a small piece. For kids, it is advisable to steam or bake the dish in the oven. This way it will be safer and healthier. Fried omelet or scrambled eggs are recommended. Do not use a microwave oven for cooking!

After the first feeding, observe the baby's reaction. If the child’s health has not deteriorated, the child can sometimes be fed this dish, but not more than two or three times a week. It is better to take a break of two or three days. Pay special attention to the choice of products.

How to choose products for an omelet

• Use only fresh eggs without cracks in the shell or gurgling inside. If so, you can make it from quail eggs. Quail eggs give the same effect, but they are healthier and do not cause allergies. For preparing dishes, quail eggs are taken 1.5-2 times more than chicken eggs;
• Take special low-fat baby milk. Country cow's milk is difficult to digest and often causes allergies. If babies tolerate such milk well, the product should be boiled before cooking. If you have allergies, you can prepare an omelet without milk;
• Cook the omelette by steaming, in a slow cooker, double boiler or in the oven. When fried, foods lose their beneficial properties and carcinogens are formed. Fried foods are difficult and slow to digest, leading to digestive disorders. And an omelet in the microwave becomes completely dangerous;
• When cooking, do not use a large amount of spices, do not add hot seasonings and do not season the dish with mayonnaise, ketchup or other store-bought sauces. You can lightly salt the dish;
• Add natural and low-allergenic products to your recipes. You can use chicken or turkey, hard cheese, fresh vegetables and herbs, or sausages.

Omelette has long established itself as an ideal breakfast. It is light yet nutritious. An egg dish will enrich the body with easily digestible protein and vitamins for the whole day. The dish is suitable for everyone: from an infant to a woman watching her figure. There are also a lot of options for preparing an omelet: from the classic “scrambled egg” to the Italian frittata. In our article we will look at how to cook a steam omelette in various ways.

The dish contains a lot of useful substances and elements important for the body. Among them are the following:

• calcium, which forms the muscle and bone systems, and also regulates metabolism;
• iron, extremely important for the circulatory system;
• lecithin, which protects against many serious diseases;
• potassium, which improves the condition of soft tissues, maintains water balance and the cardiovascular system;
• selenium, which protects the body from viruses and has a beneficial effect on the thyroid gland;
• lutein, good for vision;
• vitamins.

The omelet is perfect for those who want to strengthen the immune and nervous systems. Indicated for those suffering from muscle pain and migraines. The dish plays an important role in strengthening hard tissues: teeth, nails, bones.

100 g of product contains 9.1 g of protein, 8.7 g of fat and 1.9 g of carbohydrates with an average calorie content of ≈124 kcal.

Despite the fact that the dish is difficult to spoil, there are several rules that will tell you how to make a steam omelette correctly and enjoy every bite of it.

Ideally, you need to take enough eggs and milk so that their weight is the same. Before the cooking process itself, you should make sure that the eggs are thoroughly washed with cold water. This is done for hygiene purposes: to prevent particles of dirt, droppings or other substances from getting into the food.

The egg-milk mass must be thoroughly mixed to achieve a homogeneous substance. This can be done with a blender, a whisk, or even a simple fork. This is how you will get a very tender, airy dish that will not harm even a very capricious stomach.

If desired and possible, you can use quail eggs. Conventionally, one chicken egg is equal to four quail eggs, which also needs to be taken into account.

As a rule, steamed food can be easily prepared in a slow cooker or double boiler. But if you don’t have such devices in your kitchen, it won’t hurt to make a real steam omelette, the recipe for which is also simple. The dish will be cooked in a water bath, and its taste will not be inferior to its analogues.

For those who do not count calories in their diet, you can supplement the meal with other ingredients: cheese, bacon, sausage or ham. But these products should not be used by those who suffer from gastrointestinal diseases, young children, or people on a diet. Additives such as cottage cheese, vegetables, herbs, sour cream and bran are ideal for them.

Classic version (milk + egg) on ​​the stove

For this dish we will need:

• 4 medium-sized chicken eggs;
• 200 ml. milk;
• salt, spices to taste.

The dish will be cooked in a water bath on the stove. There are several ways to prepare it, but we will look at the two easiest ones.

Break the pre-washed eggs into a suitable container and mix. Add milk in small portions and continue stirring. Add salt and other seasonings to taste, beat until foamy.

For the first option, we need a colander that is the right size for the pan and has a flat bottom.

1. Pour water into the pan. There should be enough of it so that when heated it does not boil away, but at the same time does not reach the bottom of the colander.
2. Place the beaten egg and milk mixture in a colander and cover with a lid.
3. Place the pan with the product on the fire and keep it until done. As a rule, a steamed omelette takes 10-15 minutes to prepare.
4. Then the thickened product is cooled and served.

The second method is even simpler.

1. The same milk-egg mass is prepared and poured into a special container that is resistant to high temperatures. There should be enough water in the pan to reach half of the bowl with the ingredients.
2. Place the pan on low heat with the lid on and cook for up to 15 minutes.

Egg omelet in a steamer

For this we will need 3 large eggs, half a glass of milk, a teaspoon of butter and salt to your taste.

1. Beat the eggs into a dish or deep plate and mix with milk.
2. Add salt and beat thoroughly.
3. Grease the steamer bowl with butter and pour the resulting mixture into it. Typically, the cooking time for an omelette in a steamer is 20 minutes.

Egg dish on water

An omelette without adding milk contains even fewer calories than a classic one, but it is not inferior in taste and benefits. And we will share the secret of how to cook a steam omelette using water quickly and easily.

To do this you need to take:

• 4 medium chicken eggs;
• 3 tablespoons water;
• herbs and salt to taste.

1. Beat eggs together with water and spices.
2. Pour the mixture into the steamer bowl and set for 20 minutes.
3. Since the dish does not contain milk, you can supplement it with other healthy ingredients, such as vegetables. In this case, a mixture of chopped vegetables will be laid out on the bottom of the steamer, and a mixture of water and eggs will be poured on top.
4. As for the cooking time, it will be the same. However, after 20 minutes you can stir the resulting product and turn on the double boiler for another 10 minutes.

By the way, in the cuisines of some nations, meat broth is used instead of water.

Cooking with proteins

This recipe is ideal for those who require dietary food due to illness or excess weight. It is known that protein contains fewer calories than yolk and is perfectly absorbed by the body.

In addition, this dish will help normalize high cholesterol levels in the blood.

For one serving we take:

• 3 squirrels;
• 250 ml. milk (can be replaced with water);
• butter (1 tsp);
• salt to your taste.

1. Separate the whites from the yolks, add salt and beat until foamy.
2. Grease the shape of a steamer or multicooker with oil and pour out the resulting mass.
3. Cook for about a quarter of an hour, then cool and serve.

Children's version (for a one-year-old baby)

Here, great attention should be paid to the purity of the products, because the child’s body is very delicate and vulnerable. Therefore, many mothers wash their eggs with soap and then rinse them with cool tap water. It’s especially good if homemade eggs are used in the dish instead of store-bought ones.

Take 4 chicken (or 16 quail) eggs, 1 glass of milk and just a little salt.

1. Beat all ingredients in 2 stages. First, break the eggs into a container and beat them for 20 seconds with a blender or simple cutlery such as a whisk or fork.
2. Then add milk and beat again for the same time.
3. Then pour the omelette into the oiled multicooker bowl and steam for 20 minutes.

Such a tender and light dish is suitable even for a one-year-old baby, but only on condition that he does not suffer from allergies to the ingredients.

Baby nutrition experts recommend using a steamed omelet in your child’s menu. This delicate, nutritious egg dish contains complete protein, vitamins and minerals necessary for the diet of little pranksters. An omelet will be especially helpful for the child of those mothers whose children refuse to eat children's meat dishes, as well as in cases where your child weighs a lot.

What is an omelet for a child made from?

When planning to prepare a steam omelet for your child, take only the freshest, highest quality eggs. For healthy babies who are not prone to allergic reactions and respond well to vegetable soufflés (these children's second courses contain an egg component), you can use chicken ones. For a more demanding child, it is better to make it as hypoallergenic as possible, dietary - from quail eggs.

The ideal option would be to take eggs from your own backyard poultry house. This is a guarantee of freshness and the absence of harmful substances, because you are sure to feed your birds only natural food. The same goes for milk and butter.

In all other cases, be sure to pay attention to the manufacturer’s reputation, category, composition, shelf life and date of manufacture of raw materials. After all, the child is not yet ready enough to absorb preservatives, dyes and other unnatural chemicals introduced by the manufacturer. It is better if you purchase raw materials from an organic food store.

In order to make this children's omelette, you will need two chicken (or six quail) eggs, a couple of tablespoons of high-quality fresh milk with a fat content of no more than 2.5%, half a teaspoon of butter and a little table salt.

If you are using an electric steamer, follow the manufacturer's instructions. If you don't have a double boiler, use a regular saucepan and a mold that is smaller in diameter than the saucepan you're looking for.

1. Pour water into a saucepan, no more than 4 cm high, and place on fire.
2. Heat the water to a boil.
3. In the time interval before boiling, beat the eggs into the bowl of a mixer or blender, add milk to them and add salt.
4. Beat the resulting mixture into a thick, stable foam. To do this, eggs and milk must be chilled.
5. Grease your steam cooking mold with butter and pour the fluffy egg-milk mixture into it.
6. Place the form with the raw delicacy on the bottom of a saucepan with boiling water, cover the saucepan converted into a steamer with a lid. The time required to bring the steamed dish to readiness ranges from five to seven minutes and depends on the thickness of the layer of mass in the mold. You can omit the butter if the mold you are using is silicone.
