My munchkin is almost a year and a half and prefers playing with her food more than eating it. Luckily she is still breast-fed! It is always a win when we make something that she'll eat. A few relatives tried and liked them, too. I change up the recipe depending on what I have on hand. The usual version is as follows:Ingredients:
- 8 eggs - we use farm eggs so they vary medium to large
- 3 medium carrots, shredded
- 1 large onion, diced - we use yellow or white
- 1.5 sticks pepperoni, diced (approx 105 grams)
- 2 sheets nori, crumbled
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- fat of choice for sauteing
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 325F
- Start sauteing onions in fat on medium-low heat, we use lard, butter, or bacon fat (optional - can use raw onions for faster preparation and still tastes great)
- Stir onions occasionally while preparing the other ingredients
- Scramble eggs in a large mixing bowl and add all but the onions and cream cheese as you dice and shred them
- When onions are ready, put in a separate bowl to cool
- Add the cream cheese to the warm onions and mix
- Grease muffin tins - we use silicone ones placed on top of a cookie sheet
- After onion mix cools a little, add to egg bowl and stir all ingredients well
- Using a 1/4 cup scoop, dish egg mixture into muffin tins
- Bake for 40+ minutes until a tooth pick comes out clean and/or the top just starts to get browned spots.
- Yields 14-16 muffins
- I've added diced deli meats like honey ham and roast beef as well a green onions. If the mixture seems too thick (not enough liquid) try adding another egg or a splash of your milk of choice)
