Soft-scrambled eggs and mashed avocado on toast is a fast, nutrient-dense breakfast that barely needs a recipe, but a few small details make it easier for a toddler to actually eat.
Cut the toast into finger-width strips rather than serving a whole slice. It turns the meal into something self-feeding friendly instead of a flat piece a small hand cannot easily manage.

method
Whisk the egg with the milk in a small bowl.
Melt the butter in a small nonstick pan over low heat.
Pour in the egg and cook slowly, stirring gently and often with a spatula, for 2 to 3 minutes, until softly set in small, tender curds. Take it off the heat while still a little glossy; it keeps cooking in the pan.
Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth, with no lumps.
Spread the mashed avocado over the toast, then cut the toast into finger-width strips.
Let both cool to warm before serving the eggs and toast fingers together.
chef's tips
- Cook the eggs low and slow. Scrambled eggs cooked too hot and fast turn rubbery, which is harder for a toddler to manage.
- Cutting the toast into strips rather than leaving it as a flat slice gives small hands something easy to grip and bite from one end.
- If this is your toddler's first time with egg, offer it on its own first and watch for a reaction before combining it into other meals, the same approach covered in our Baby's First Foods guide.
- Mash the avocado smooth rather than leaving chunks, which are easy for an early eater to push around rather than swallow safely.
