Baby (and Toddler) French Toast
You’re going to love this savory twist to traditional French toast typically served with maple syrup. Having vegetables for breakfast may feel strange if you usually gravitate towards the sweet options. But I want to encourage you to incorporate them into your routine. Let’s teach our children from early on that it’s normal and delicious to have vegetables in the morning. The more they see them, the more likely they’ll be to try and accept them. If you have a child who’s especially reluctant to having vegetables or something savory for breakfast, I hope this single serving French toast will serve as a bridge. This is such an easy way to use up leftover vegetables, helping you reduce food waste. It will also help you incorporate variety into your little one’s diet with minimal effort!

Serving Suggestions
For Babies
6-8 months: slice into strips about the width of two adult fingers pressed together. This will make it easier for them to grab with their palms and bring to mouth9-12 months: As your baby develops a pincer grasp and starts to pick up smaller pieces, cut into bite-sized pieces. Or keep the pieces large, especially if you have a shoveler. The latter will be great for learning to take bites and chew.
For Toddlers and Kids
I encourage you to get your child involved in the cooking process, especially if they are not a fan of vegetables. You can also pack this savory french toast into their lunch box. I like to make it the night before. There’s no need to reheat, unless you child prefers warm food. My son actually prefers it cold!
