What can we use if we don't have a non-stick pan or a toaster?
If you don't have a non-stick pan, use a well-seasoned stainless steel skillet and add a little extra butter when the adult heats it on medium-low, and if there's no toaster, toast the whole grain bread in the warmed pan for about 1â2 minutes per side after the eggs are done.
My scrambled eggs are sticking or drying outâwhat should we change?
If the eggs start sticking or look dry while stirring in the warmed non-stick pan, ask the adult to lower the heat, add a small extra pat of butter, and immediately move the pan off the heat once the eggs look mostly set but still moist.
How can we adapt the steps for younger or older kids?
For younger kids (3â5), skip stove steps and have them whisk the eggs, spread butter on pre-toasted whole grain bread, wash and tear fruit into pieces, and arrange the plate, while older kids (8+) can crack the eggs, measure the tablespoon of milk, and stir the eggs in the warm pan with adult supervision.
How can we make the breakfast more interesting or personalized?
To personalize the meal, let the child mix grated cheese, chopped herbs, or cooked diced vegetables into the whisked eggs before pouring into the warmed pan, try an English muffin instead of whole grain bread, and have them photograph and share the plated toast, scrambled eggs, and fruit on DIY.org.
