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?
Give very small pieces of thoroughly cooked eriste, lightly mashed if necessary; serve it in a soft consistency within an eriste dish or soup.
You can serve short-cut soft eriste as a finger food, mixed with vegetables or minced meat.
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.
