You can make a delicious omelet for your child from the ingredients you have at hand in the refrigerator. This simple dish is believed to have originated in France, where fried eggs with pepper and salt are called “omelette.” Despite this, other countries also claim that a tasty and satisfying egg dish was invented on their territory.
There is a legend about the appearance of the omelet in modern cooking and it is associated with the Austrian Emperor Joseph I. Once the ruler went hunting, which caught him and his retinue in the forest without food. Nearby was the forest ranger's hut, where Joseph I went to have dinner. Since the owners only had eggs, salt and pepper on hand, the emperor was offered a dish made from these ingredients.
The ruler of Austria liked the simple culinary masterpiece so much that he instructed his cook to memorize the recipe and serve the dish to him for breakfast several times a week.
Omelette is such a popular delicacy that variations exist in different countries. For example, in Belarus it is called “Drochena”, and in Indonesia it is called “Krak-telor”. Italians love making frittata for breakfast, while the Japanese prefer omu-soba.

What can I add?
You can make a delicious omelet for a child from both chicken and quail eggs. Also, the recipe may include various ingredients that can be added or removed at your own discretion. Omelet is such a universal dish that it goes well with almost all foods.
Original product | Replacement |
chicken eggs | quail/ostrich/goose/turkey/duck eggs |
milk | sour cream/kefir/ryazhenka/whey/yogurt |
vegetable oil | butter |
wheat flour | rye/corn/buckwheat/amaranth/oat flour |
An omelette can be either a main dish or an addition to it. Sometimes the treat contains fresh vegetables, fish and meat products. What the omelette comes with depends only on the preferences of the hostess and her needs.
How to serve a dish
A dish of fried eggs is served warm. The omelet is decorated with herbs or sliced fresh vegetables. Adult delicacy lovers can decorate the dish with mushrooms or olives. If we consider serving a classic French omelette, then it is placed on the table rolled up like an envelope or folded in half. In addition, you can wrap a side dish of porridge, stewed vegetables or meat in such a culinary wrapper. In most coastal countries, the omelette serves as a wrapper for the remaining ingredients, like pita bread for shawarma.
How to choose products for an omelet
- Use only fresh eggs without cracks in the shell or gurgling inside. If your child has allergies, you can make it from quail eggs. Quail eggs give the same effect, but they are healthier and do not cause allergies. For preparing dishes, quail eggs are taken 1.5-2 times more than chicken eggs;
- Take special low-fat baby milk. Country cow's milk is difficult to digest and often causes allergies. If babies tolerate such milk well, the product should be boiled before cooking. If you have allergies, you can prepare an omelet without milk;
- Cook the omelette by steaming, in a slow cooker, double boiler or in the oven. When fried, foods lose their beneficial properties and carcinogens are formed. Fried foods are difficult and slow to digest, leading to digestive disorders. And an omelet in the microwave becomes completely dangerous;
- When cooking, do not use a large amount of spices, do not add hot seasonings and do not season the dish with mayonnaise, ketchup or other store-bought sauces. You can lightly salt the dish;
- Add natural and low-allergenic products to your recipes. You can use chicken or turkey, hard cheese, fresh vegetables and herbs, homemade sausages or sausages. Do not put store-bought sausages, processed cheese and other dangerous products into the dish! Let's find out in more detail how to prepare an omelet for a one-year-old child.

Children can fry eggs in bagels. You just need to fry it in butter, and then pour the egg into the middle and fry in this form until cooked.
To prepare an omelet you will need a little milk, salt and soda on the tip of a knife. The mass is whipped into foam, soda is added, everything is poured into a frying pan, which is preheated and thoroughly coated with sunflower or butter. Cook covered for 5 - 6 minutes over low heat.

You can use the following culinary tricks:
- if you are making an omelette with filling, first fry all the ingredients and then add them to the main mass;
- when using frozen vegetables, simmer them separately, covering the pan with a lid (read more about vegetables for the first feeding{amp}gt;{amp}gt;{amp}gt;);
- An omelet for a child in a slow cooker will be tastier if it is simmered for a few minutes with the appliance turned off after it is ready;
- In the oven, food turns out more lusciously if you don’t open it for about 20 minutes after cooking;

Useful tips
A children's omelet differs from an adult's not so much in the rules of preparation as in the choice of products. Experts recommend choosing only fresh and proven ingredients for this dish.
Adviсe:
- Firstly, since this dish consists of eggs, you need to choose them carefully. Eggs are carriers of various dangerous diseases, so when choosing them, you need to pay attention to the color of the product, the condition of the shell and the smell. For omelettes for children, choose only fresh, clean eggs with a whole shell and no odor.
- Secondly, instead of cow's milk, experts recommend using special baby milk. This product does not contain as much fat and heavy protein as regular milk. If it is not possible to purchase baby milk, then choose a product with the lowest fat content.
- Thirdly, omelettes for children should contain a minimum of spices and pepper. This is due to the fact that children's taste buds are not yet ready for spiciness and other taste differences.
- Fourthly, only fresh or frozen vegetables are added to the egg dish. Mushrooms and other heavy foods are not placed in children's omelettes.
- Fifthly, when planning to prepare a delicacy with a meat component, you need to give preference to chicken breast, fillet or white meat without skin and bones. It is better not to add smoked sausages, frankfurters and pork to children's dishes.
- Sixthly, if you want to prepare breakfast using cheese, it is recommended to opt for hard varieties of the product. Experts do not recommend adding melted or smoked ingredients to children's omelettes.
Even a novice cook can make a delicious omelet for a child from available ingredients. A dish of eggs and dairy ingredients is recommended for those who do not suffer from allergic reactions to its components.
Recommendations and tips
- Heat treatment of egg dishes must be sufficient, otherwise there is a high risk of salmonellosis infection.
- Excessive egg content in the diet can negatively affect kidney function. Maintain moderation - treat your baby to an omelet made from one egg no more than 2-3 times a week.
- If it is possible to replace frying with cooking in the oven or steaming, do so (regardless of the child’s age).
- For children who are predisposed to allergies, it is better to use a quail egg to prepare this dish. They cause a reaction much less frequently than chicken ones.
The truth is in the egg
Nature has decreed that in birds the birth of babies is delayed or does not occur at all. This lies in the characteristics of reproduction. First, the egg appears and only after 2 - 3 weeks does the chick hatch from it
Moreover, the female will lay the egg in any case, no matter whether there is a male nearby or not. People began to take advantage of this fact long ago by establishing mass production of poultry eggs.
At first it was chickens, later they started keeping quails in captivity.
Breeding this bird on an industrial scale turned out to be quite profitable. They differ in that:
- They require very little space for a fairly large population.
- During the life process, an excess amount of heat is released, which allows you to save on heating the room.
- Unpretentious in food.
- They have a good level of egg production.
- Meat and eggs are expensive and are classified as delicacies.
Nevertheless, the demand for products is constant. The secret lies in the unique properties of quail eggs.

When are the eggs introduced?

Eggs are introduced into the diet of babies very early - starting from 8 months of life. First they give half a yolk, and then a whole one. It is recommended to start with quail eggs.
If the child does not have allergies, by the age of one year the baby begins to be given protein, adding it to dishes. In the absence of negative reactions, egg dishes are introduced. And omelettes, too.
