Preparing your own baby food is simple and budget-friendly. Start with purees and move onto finger foods like these mini bacon and spinach frittatas. Perfect if your child has been introduced to eggs and is more interested in handling their own food now than having you feed it to them.
Ingredients
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 1/2 brown onion finely chopped small
- 1 bacon rasher large
- 3 eggs lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup sweet potato mash
- 1/2 cup cheese grated
- 1 handful baby spinach leaves finely chopped
- 1 spray cooking oil spray

Step 1Set the oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Heat oil in a saucepan over a medium heat and cook the onion and bacon until onions are translucent.

Step 3Pop in a pre-heated oven and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the frittatas are golden brown and have moved slightly away from the edge of the pan. Leave to cool slightly and serve warm.
Recipe Notes
These frittatas are great for using up leftover mash or other veggies, plus eggs are a great source of protein, iron, folate and omega-3 fatty acids.
A good time saver: make mini versions for little hands while you’re whipping up a larger one for yourself.
Babies who aren’t ready for finger food can be fed the frittata in scrambled-egg form. Simply break up with a fork and serve on a spoon.
