Homemade Egg Noodles (Eriste)

8 months and up

⚡ Quick answer

Traditional homemade eriste made with flour and egg contains both gluten and, in most cases, egg, so it can be given from 8 months onward when thoroughly cooked and cut small.

How to serve it by age?

8-9 months

Give very small pieces of thoroughly cooked eriste, lightly mashed if necessary; serve it in a soft consistency within an eriste dish or soup.

10-12 months

You can serve short-cut soft eriste as a finger food, mixed with vegetables or minced meat.

12+ months

The eriste dish from the family table can be given, keeping salt and oil balanced.

⚠️ Allergen information

Contains gluten (wheat) and usually egg

🫁 Choking risk and safe serving

Long, slippery noodle strips pose a choking risk; cut them into small pieces and cook until very soft before serving.

📌 Watch out for these

  • Since homemade eriste contains both wheat gluten and egg together, the baby should have previously tried each allergen separately without any problems.
  • Always cut long strips into small pieces; slippery, long pasta types pose a choking risk.
  • Eriste containing egg must be cooked thoroughly; raw dough should never be given.
