Baby Egg, Apple and Rice Cereal Recipe

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.

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.

Remove from heat and let stand for 12 minutes.

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

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

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

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.
