Egg recipes for kids

“Popping” eggs as my kids call it, or one boy always said “hatching” them, is a great motor skill for kids to learn. It’s hard to crack an egg successfully and early learning helps develop great skills for later in life.

Three young children sit at a table as one pours a container of sugar into a white mixing bowl while the others watch, eagerly helping prepare an Egg and Vegetable Casserole.

This egg casserole had a lot of eggs, so it was a great opportunity for each child to get to try more than once. Some of them didn’t want to after the first smashed egg flew all over the table, but that’s okay too. They don’t have to do it if they don’t want to. Dumping ingredients into bowls helps even one-year-olds learn to control their fine motor skills and helps them build their confidence.

Knowing what to eat to save money is not as complicated as you might think.

Four young children sit around a table preparing food; one child pours milk into a bowl filled with ingredients for an Egg and Vegetable Casserole while the others watch.

This breakfast casserole has several servings of vegetables in it as well as nutritious eggs, cheese, and tortillas. All of the ingredients are dumped into a bowl and mixed, then poured into a casserole dish, so most of the steps can be done by the children without much assistance, which helps build their confidence levels in cooking.

    1. Hi Sandra,
      Thank you for pointing that out, I have fixed the recipe. You spray the pan with non stick spray and sprinkle them along the bottom of the pan, then add the egg mixture. I hope you enjoy making it.
