Green Eggs (Baby Friendly Recipe | BLW Friendly)

Written by: Jeanette Blandford | Published on April 13, 2026

We’ve all heard the Dr Seuss story — but how many of us have actually made green eggs for our little ones? This fun twist on a classic is a great way to keep things interesting while introducing nutrient-dense foods during the early days of starting solids.

Eggs are a fantastic food to include regularly. For allergy prevention, it’s recommended to offer common allergens like egg at least once a week, so having simple, repeatable recipes like this one makes it much easier.

Green Eggs (Baby Friendly Recipe | BLW Friendly)

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • ¼ cup milk

Method

  1. Add the spinach and milk to a blender and blend until smooth.
  2. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease if needed.
  3. Crack the eggs into the spinach mixture and whisk well to combine.
  4. Pour the mixture into the pan.
  5. Gently scramble with a spatula as it cooks until soft and fully cooked through.
  6. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Storage Instructions

Best served fresh. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but texture is best when freshly made.

Nutrition Notes

Eggs provide high-quality protein, healthy fats and important nutrients like choline, which supports brain development. Spinach adds fibre, iron and a range of vitamins, making this a nutrient-dense option for babies and toddlers.

Parent Tip

If your baby is unsure about new flavours, try serving these on toast fingers or alongside a familiar food to increase acceptance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can babies eat eggs when starting solids?

Yes. Eggs are recommended early as a common allergen and should be offered regularly once introduced.

Do I need to blend the spinach?

Blending helps create a smooth texture and evenly distribute the spinach, but finely chopping can also work for older babies.

Can I make this dairy free?

Yes. Simply swap the milk for water or a milk alternative your baby has already tolerated.

Is this suitable for BLW?

Yes. Serve as soft pieces or on toast fingers for an easy baby-led weaning option.
