I have tried and tried and tried but am yet to succeed in getting my daughter to eat an egg. Boiled, scrambled, fried, poached....I've tried it all, unsuccessfully. So here's my idea to get her to gulp down an egg yolk (, which contains most of the nutrients in an egg), hidden in a concoction of milk and strawberries. Show me a kid who doesn't like ice cream! (Okay, okay there are always exceptions.)
Strawberry Ice Cream:
Ingredients:
1 cup milk
1 egg yolk (make a nice omelette for yourself with the white)
2 tablespoons of sugar
A drop of vanilla essence
7-8 medium sized strawberries
Method:
Grind the strawberries and strain the seeds away. Warm the milk and drop the whisked egg yolk in it and mix well. (Don't overheat the milk, else the egg yolk will cook.) Transfer egg-milk mixture to a saucepan and add the pureed strawberries, sugar and vanilla essence. Cook on low flame and keep stirring until it thickens (about 5 minutes.) Let it cool and tranfer it into a container to keep in the freezer. Once in the freezer, keep stirring the mixture every half an hour, so that it does not become one mass of ice that cannot be bit into. After a few hours of stirring the frozen mixture repeatedly, viola! your ice cream is ready.
Mine is still in the refrigerator. Will post pictures and relay the results of my experiment soon after my daughter takes a lick. Ciao!
