Ingredients (Serves 1 child)
Whole eggs – 1 or 2 Fresh microgreens – 1 small handful (whole, uncut) (choose mild varieties like broccoli, fenugreek, pea shoots) Cheese – 1 tablespoon (grated or sliced, optional) Butter / oil – ½ teaspoon Salt – a small pinch
🍳 Method
Crack the whole eggs into a bowl and whisk lightly. Heat a non-stick pan and add butter or oil. Pour in the eggs and cook on low heat. When the eggs begin to set, place the microgreens directly on top — no chopping required. Add cheese if using. Fold gently and cook for another 30–60 seconds until soft. Serve warm.
🌱 Why this works for children
Microgreens soften while cooking No strong taste or bitterness Cheese adds familiarity and calcium Improves nutrition without resistance

👨👩 Parent tip
