Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to four months.
Enjoy leftovers cold or reheat to piping hot.
An egg bake or breakfast casserole like this one is the perfect texture for baby-led weaning. Cut it into fingers and it is easy for babies to grasp and pick up.
If you are serving this egg bake with hash browns to a baby be mindful of the sodium/salt content, do not season the dish with extra salt and consider making the recipe without bacon or choose a lower salt protein like leftover cooked chicken.
Hash browns: I use store-bought frozen hash browns, but you could use cooked cubed potatoes or root vegetables if you prefer. (carrot, pumpkin, sweet potato, parsnip, k?mara). Tater tots or potato pompoms can also be used.
Bacon: The bacon is not necessary it can be left out if you prefer the dish to be vegetarian or another protein such as smoked salmon, leftover cooked chicken, breakfast sausage or ham could be substituted.
Spinach leaves: I typically use fresh baby spinach leaves in this recipe, but frozen spinach portions could also be used.
