Soft Steamed Egg Custard with Milk
Super Easy Microwave Steamed Egg Custard with Milk for 8-Month-Old Baby
Time flies so fast; our baby is already 8 months old! With two teeth on the top and two on the bottom, they can now enjoy a variety of snacks. Today, I’m making a super simple and soft steamed egg custard with milk using the microwave, perfect for our little one!
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- Milk, as needed (1:1 ratio with egg)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare 1 egg, some milk, and a microwave-safe mug. Ensure the mug is thoroughly cleaned as it’s for your baby.
Step 2
Carefully crack 1 egg into the mug.
Step 3
Whisk the egg thoroughly with chopsticks or a fork until well combined. This step is crucial to prevent the egg yolk from expanding and bursting suddenly in the microwave.
Step 4
Pour in milk, matching the volume of the whisked egg. A 1:1 ratio of egg to milk generally yields a wonderfully soft texture. Stir again to ensure the milk and egg are completely blended.
Step 5
The preparation is complete! Cover the mug opening with food-grade plastic wrap. To allow steam to escape and ensure even cooking, poke two small holes in the center of the plastic wrap with a fork. This helps create a softer custard.
Step 6
Microwave for approximately 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Always check the temperature before serving to ensure it’s not too hot for your baby.
Step 7
Once cooked, carefully remove the mug from the microwave. Gently stir with a spoon to check if the inside is cooked through. It should have a soft, pudding-like consistency.
Step 8
Voila! Your soft, microwave-made steamed egg custard is ready. It’s so rewarding to think of your baby enjoying this healthy, homemade treat. This is a great option for a baby snack or when your little one needs a gentle meal!
