Absolutely delicious seeded toast with a spinach omelette and perfectly ripe tomato. I think I'm really lucky that Jonno will almost always find space in his tummy for eggies and often requests them. When I was introducing him to solids, the advice was to hold off on eggs until 12 months owing to a rare but potentially fatal allergy some infants have to egg white. I chanced it when he was around 9 months (given absolutely no family history of egg allergies I figured we were on pretty safe ground!) and it was such a God-send. On days when you're busy and stressed and tired, to be able to hard boil an egg and add toast soldiers is just perfect. Our problem is actually making sure he doesn't eat eggs too often! He sometimes goes through this bizarre aversion to egg yolks, and studiously picks around the yellow and just eats the white, which is where scrambled eggs and omelettes come into play. This morning I picked some spinach and basil fresh from the garden and folded it into the centre of the omelette. The best thing about brekkies like this is that I love them as well, so we can really eat together.
