Mini Baby-Friendly Quiches – Baby Led Weaning Finger Food
It is the most wonderful time of the year! The excitement around our home is electric, especially with a little Oscar who thinks Santa is watching 100% of the time. On his best, best, best behaviour. It is the only time of the year beds are made, toys are picked up with zero fuss! We are also planning parties with our friends and cooking up a storm for Dunnes Stores. If you haven’t seen our Turkey Stuffing Muffins which are another perfect baby led weaning finger food, you should definitely check them out too!
Our mission this month was to cook easy food that wouldn’t cost a fortune, could be made ahead of time and would be brilliant for entire family too. There is nothing worse than having to go from store to store to buy ingredients and that is too hard and unobtainable for us busy Mums (and Dads too). All of my ingredients can be found in your local Dunnes Stores and they are all reasonably priced! You can pick your own standard of ingredients that suits your own budget. I use organic eggs, but you can use the EveryDay Savers and save money. Christmas is CRAZY expensive so you want to reduce cost and not add to it.
Mini quiches are a wonderful baby led weaning finger food. For one, they’re simply adorable — the cutest little appetizer for family parties! Most importantly, they give you the opportunity to create a balanced meal for baby in one bite! This recipe is packed full of healthy protein and exploding with veggies, scoring a 10+ on the yummy scale. Triple win, Mamas! This is a Christmas party food for kids you will end up making the entire year round.
Eggs get their rep for boasting dense amounts of complete proteins (all twelve amino acids) in one tiny shell, but they offer a multitude of benefits ranging from heart to brain. These little guys are rich in selenium, potassium, vitamins D, A, E, B12, and B6.
A finger food fact to share with the bigger kids: eggs are each one, giant complete cell. How’s that for a brainy appetizer?
On top of being ultra nutritious (and educational), these mini quiches are tasty! Flakey homemade pastries filled with aromatic basil, cherry tomatoes, and spinach create a beautifully savory treat for your whole family. They’re also perfect for a healthy breakfast on the go – easy finger food to pop on the way out the door or when you throw a fabulous party you can totally dazzle your guests (and kids) with these yummy bites.
You won’t have to go on a hunt to find the ingredients in these Mini Baby-Friendly Quiches. They’re inexpensive to make – no crazy produce that you won’t know where to find, all available in your local Dunnes Stores.
