Step by step
0 / 4Here’s how.
Keep it simple today.
Add frozen peas straight from the bag. No herbs? It is fine to leave out the chives today.
What you can prepare ahead
Cook potatoes the day before if helpful. Cool promptly, cover and refrigerate within 2 hours at 5 °C or below. Heat them thoroughly with the eggs and peas the next day.
Got interrupted? Tick off each step as you finish, so you can find your place again here.
If there is room for it today
Helping is lovely. Watching is fine too.
Your child can whisk the eggs in a separate bowl. Wash hands afterwards and do not taste raw egg.
It does not have to be a family cooking project. It is fine to do it yourself today.
Good things for your family table
Why it works for children.

About this nutrient ↗
These notes refer to the ingredients in the base recipe. The amount on the plate depends on preparation, portion size and swaps. Variety across the week makes the difference.
Make it yours.
Cooked potatoes from the day before work well: use less water and heat thoroughly. Small, soft-cooked broccoli pieces can replace the peas.
Feeling a little unsure?
Set aside some potatoes and peas before adding the eggs, so there is something familiar on the plate.
Keeping leftovers
Cool and refrigerate covered within 2 hours. Eat the next day. If reheating, heat thoroughly once.
For younger eaters
Designed for family meals from age 3, not as a weaning recipe. Always adapt shape and texture to your child’s abilities. Cook hard pieces until soft or grate finely; cut up small round foods. Stay with your child while they eat. For known allergies, check ingredients and substitutions individually.
