Method

  1. 1

    Whisk the eggs, milk, cheddar and thyme together in a shallow dish.

  2. 2

    Cut each slice of bread into 3 fingers.

  3. 3

    Melt half the butter in a non stick frying pan over a medium heat.

  4. 4

    Dip the bread fingers briefly into the egg mix, turning once so they are coated but not soggy, then lay them in the pan.

  5. 5

    Fry for 2 minutes on each side until golden and set, adding more butter as needed. Cook in batches.

  6. 6

    Make sure the egg is cooked through with no runny bits. Cool slightly and serve. Eggs are safe for babies from 6 months when cooked well. The cheese means this is best for occasional meals under 12 months.

Always check every ingredient and the packet label for allergens and cross contamination, and ask your doctor or dietitian what is right for you, especially with coeliac disease, diabetes or a serious allergy.
