Their soft texture and savory flavor make them an ideal baby snack. The preparation is also incredibly simple, making it a highly recommended recipe for busy parents.
Main Ingredients- 2 Hard-boiled eggs (fully cooked)
- 1 Slice of baby cheese
- 1 Teaspoon potato starch or cornstarch
- 3 Teaspoons water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, hard-boil 2 eggs. Cooking them for about 15 minutes will ensure the yolks are firm. (Tip: Using an egg boiler can make this process even more convenient!)
Step 2
For babies one year and older, egg whites can still be a bit challenging to digest, so it’s safest to use only the yolks. In a prepared bowl, add the egg yolks and 1 slice of baby cheese. (Parent’s Tip: The egg whites can be enjoyed by mom and dad!)
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the starch mixture. Add 1 teaspoon of starch and 3 teaspoons of water to a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and free of lumps. Ensuring it’s well combined is key.
Step 4
Put on a pair of clean disposable gloves. Gently mix and knead the ingredients in the bowl with your hands until they form a cohesive dough. Knead until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 5
Using a spoon, scoop out small portions of the dough. Roll each portion between your fingers on the spoon to form small, round balls, about the size of a pea. This size is perfect for your baby to easily pick up and eat.
Step 6
Arrange the rolled egg cheese balls neatly on a sheet of parchment paper. (Pro Tip: Don’t worry if they aren’t perfectly shaped! The goal is to make them easily and quickly. Avoid getting caught up in perfection and getting tired!)
Step 7
While you prepare the next batch, place the first tray in the air fryer. Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) and cook for about 5 to 10 minutes. (Note: Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model, so it’s a good idea to check them periodically and adjust the time as needed.)
Step 8
Voila! The first batch of egg cheese balls is ready. The cheese has puffed up slightly during cooking, giving them a fun, caterpillar-like appearance. While they look cute, they taste absolutely delicious!
Step 9
I made these with 2 egg yolks and 1 slice of baby cheese, intending them to last for two days, but my baby ate them all in one sitting! ㅠㅠ (Although it’s a bit disheartening), seeing your child enjoy the food makes all the effort worthwhile, and it encourages you to cook again. Make these healthy and tasty snacks for your baby!
