Avocado egg toast with hard boiled egg for baby, avocado egg toast for baby, avocado egg toast for toddler, baby-led weaning avocado egg toast

One of the simplest baby-led weaning breakfasts is avocado egg toast.

It’s so quick to make, very filling for babies and toddlers, and packed with a lot of nutrients that kids need to grow.

On busy mornings when I don’t have enough time to make breakfast, I usually turn to something with bread.

Most of the time I’ll do baby French toast (eggy bread), and other times I’ll do avocado toast with a hard-boiled egg.

Important Recipe Notes (please read)

Eggs are a common allergen for babies

Eggs are a common allergen in babies. Before you try this recipe, make sure that your baby isn’t allergic to eggs.

It is not recommended that you mix multiple foods in the beginning stages of baby-led weaning, because mixing different foods makes it difficult to identify which one may be the cause of an allergic reaction.

So if you haven’t fed eggs to your baby on its own, don’t make this avocado egg toast. Try serving avocados on its own, and then eggs on its own to isolate any allergens first.

You can use teething rusk instead of toast

For this avocado toast with hard-boiled eggs, you don’t actually need to use bread as toast. You can use teething rice rusks like these ones on Amazon if that’s what your baby is used to.

Rice rusks may be better for babies just started baby-led weaning because they melt easily in the mouth, and are easier to digest.

Just know that they may not fill your baby as much as bread would fill them up. I still use teething rusks every day as a snack for my kids.
