Puree Monday - Yo Yolk

A great source of protein for bebes is none other than the “incredible, edible EGG”!  Eggs do happen to be high on the list of possible allergens but it’s actually the egg whites that contain the allergic proteins.  Most will agree that egg yolks are safe and carry very little risk of allergy.  It’s recommended not to give bebes egg whites before the age of one and the best way to separate the yolks from the whites is hard boiling the eggs!  This is a pretty easy recipe and one of Bebe B’s favorites.  She used to love it spread on pieces of bread when she was first mastering finger foods!
