Ingredients
- 2 ripe peaches, peeled, cored and diced
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup ( 60 mL ) mashed ripe banana
Instructions
-
Steam or boil diced peaches until very tender. Drain if necessary and mash or purée until you have your desired consistency. Let cool slightly then place in a sealed container in the fridge until ready to use.
-
Place your egg in a small pot and cover with cold water. The water should be about an inch or so higher than the egg. Cover the pot with a lid. Over high heat, bring your eggs to a rolling boil.
-
Remove from heat and let stand for 12 minutes.
-
Drain water and immediately run cold water over egg until cooled. Rapid cooling helps prevent a green ring from forming around the yolks.
-
Peel egg and place in a bowl. Mash very well.
-
Combine egg with ¼ cup (60 mL) puréed peaches and mashed banana. Mash together well until you have your desired consistency. Add a little breast milk or formula to thin if you like.
Notes
TIP: Short on time? Instead of preparing your own peach purée, use a jar or squeeze pouch of baby peach purée instead.
