Ingredients
Method

2 eggs
1 tbsp milk
2 tsp butter

Beat the eggs, milk and seasoning together in a bowl
Add the butter then tip the mixture into a non-stick frying pan
Cook over a high heat stirring constantly so that the bottom of the pan doesn't burn, then remove from the heat immediately when cooked
Alternatively cook over a low heat - this takes longer but you are less likely to burn or overcook the mixture

You will need

Frying pan - We love this non-stick one from Tefal. It measures 20cm (but can be found in various sizes, too) see more details here at Amazon.

Large mixing bowl – this one by Wilko has high sides and a non-slip base and costs next to nothing – see more details here at Wilko.

Tips

A basic scrambled egg recipe that can be jazzed up to your liking. Highly nutritious and very versatile - this is definitely a good one to master.

Serves 1 hungry child - simply increase the measurements accordingly for more.

Scrambled eggs are a great weaning food for babies. If the eggs have a Red Lion Stamp, it's perfectly fine to feed them to your baby when they're still a little runny. If there's no Lion Stamp, make sure the eggs are thoroughly cooked through before serving.

Pro tip: Take the pan off the heat just before the eggs are done to your liking. They'll continue to cook in their own heat as you serve them up.
