Rainbow Veggie Omelet Bites
A colorful and soft omelet packed with finely diced vegetables, perfect for introducing savory flavors and essential nutrients to your little one's breakfast.
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 2 tablespoons very finely chopped red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons very finely chopped tomato (seeds removed)
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion (optional)
- 1 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese (optional, or dairy-free alternative)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter
Instructions
Gather all ingredients: egg, milk, red bell pepper, tomato, onion (if using), cheese (if using), olive oil or butter.
Prepare the vegetables: Wash and finely dice the red bell pepper, tomato (remove seeds), and onion (if using). The smaller the pieces, the easier for your toddler to eat.
In a small bowl, crack the egg and whisk it well with the milk (or dairy-free alternative) until light and frothy.
Add the finely chopped red bell pepper, tomato, and onion (if using) to the egg mixture. Stir gently to combine.
Heat the olive oil or butter in a small, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Ensure the pan is hot but not smoking.
Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the heated skillet. Tilt the pan to spread the mixture evenly across the bottom.
Cook the omelet for about 1-2 minutes, or until the bottom is set and the top is mostly set but still slightly moist.
If using cheese, sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelet in half over the cheese, creating a half-moon shape.
Continue cooking the omelet for another minute, or until the egg is fully cooked through and the cheese is melted and gooey (if using).
Slide the cooked omelet onto a plate and allow it to cool slightly. This is important to prevent burns.
Once cooled, cut the omelet into small strips or bite-sized pieces that are easy for your toddler to pick up and chew.
Serve the Rainbow Veggie Omelet Bites to your little one and enjoy watching them explore the colorful flavors and textures!
Refrigerate any leftover omelet bites in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
