Yum For BABY: Bell Pepper Omelette (For age 15+ months)

When I was a kid my father used to make incredible omelettes for me and he taught me the way of cooking perfect omelette. It was one of my everyday lunchbox items.

There are some great ways to incorporate eggs into your baby’s daily diet. As per experts, egg white is one of the big allergy-triggering foods, so you should avoid introducing them to your baby until 12 months, though you can try egg yolks around 9 months. I waited little more time, around 14 months, to introduce egg to my son. The important thing is to make sure that the egg is thoroughly cooked until both the yolk and white are solid. When you start giving egg to your baby, one of the easiest starter is mash cooked egg yolk with breast milk/ formula.

A simple omelette is always delicious and brilliant breakfast for you and your kids. You can go on to add different ingredients to your simple recipe to make lots of lovely combinations. Personally I don’t like to add lots of veggies into omelette since I always like its plain taste. But I usually add few ingredients when I make them for my son. This Bell Pepper (Capsicum) Omelette recipe is so interesting and fun to cook with your kids. Enjoy the taste of this beautiful omelette with your little-one.

Ingredients (1 serving)
Egg- 1

Bell peppers (I chose, yellow and green)- 2 thick slices

Shallot- 1, medium size, chopped

Fresh parsley- 1 Tsp, chopped

Butter- 1 Tsp

Spices- Turmeric powder (optional) and pepper, to taste

Salt, to taste

Process

Step 1: In a small bowl beat together egg, shallots, spices, parsley and salt.

Step 2: Wash and dry bell peppers. Slice them into thick round slices.

Step 3: Place them in a microwave safe plate and microwave them for about 2 minutes (do not add water). So that bell peppers cook halfway.

Step 4: Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add butter.

Step 5: Put bell peppers into the pan and cook them for about 2 minutes each side until the bell pepper edges turn lightly brown color.

Step 6: Slowly pour the egg-beaters into the bell pepper ring (do not pour them fast since the egg will run out). Cover the pan and flip them when the egg mixture starts to solidify. Once it is fully cooked, carefully take out your Bell Pepper Omelette using a spatula.

I usually slice them into small pieces for my little-one.

Enjoy!
