Egg Recipes for Kids: Eggs in a Mug

Egg Recipes for Kids

Microwave breakfast? Not a problem and with this tip and egg recipes for kids even younger children can do their own eggs!

Many children have a difficult time learning to crack raw eggs. My solution: Crack the eggs into a ice tray!

Freeze them in the ice tray. Then when you know the children are going to help with breakfast you can either defrost individual egg cubes in a mug in the refrigerator with other ingredients or let the child get an egg cube from the ziploc freezer bag then assemble the mug by him or herself. Freezing eggs is an economical way to save eggs you buy on sale. Frozen eggs can be used in baking as well as this recipe! (They just don’t fry up well from a frozen state but fry fine if you let them defrost first.)
