Ingredients:

  • 1 slice whole grain bread
  • 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 small ripe avocado
  • 1 tsp breast milk, formula, or water
  • 1 pinch lemon juice
  • 1 large hard-boiled egg

Instructions:

  1. Toast the bread until golden and holds its shape, avoiding an over-browned crust.
  2. Lightly brush the surface of the toasted bread with olive oil.
  3. Scoop avocado flesh into a small bowl and mash with a fork until the desired consistency is reached (smooth for beginners, small lumps for older babies).
  4. Stir in the lemon juice and a splash of breast milk, formula, or water until creamy.
  5. Spread a generous layer of the avocado mixture onto the toast.
  6. Cut the toast into fingers, roughly 1 inch wide and 3 inches long, for ergonomic grasping.
  7. Optional: Finely mash or slice the hard-boiled egg and add to the toast for additional protein.
