This creamy Avocado and Egg Puree is a nourishing baby food when starting solids. Rich in healthy fats, fibre and vitamins [1], avocado baby puree is a popular first food. Paired with fully cooked egg (once safely introduced) as a source of iron [2], this baby puree makes a satisfying breakfast, lunch or dinner. You can spoon-feed it, or spread it onto toast fingers for Baby Led Weaning (BLW) and self-feeding.
This Avocado and Egg Puree is also one of those rare baby meals you’ll genuinely enjoy yourself 😊. Just season your portion to taste and serve on toast.

Ingredients in Avocado and Egg Puree
Just a few simple ingredients are needed:
Avocado – Use a ripe avocado that feels slightly soft when gently squeezed. Avocados ripen once picked. To speed up the ripening process, place the avocado in a paper bag with an apple or banana. I keep mine in the fruit bowl with bananas until ripe, and then transfer them to the fridge if I need them to keep for a little longer.
Eggs – Make sure the eggs are fresh and have no cracked shells. Eggs should be fresh and fully cooked for babies.
Pepper – Just a touch of ground black pepper is added for flavour. You can leave out for younger babies if preferred.
Lime juice – This adds flavour as well as slows down the browning of avocado flesh. You can substitute with lemon juice.
How to make Avocado and Egg Puree
This is a simple recipe to make, either with a food processor, Thermomix or old fashioned fork!
Scroll down to the recipe card below, to find exact ingredient amounts and full detailed steps for both regular and thermo cooker methods.
Step 1: Hard boil the eggs, making sure to boil the eggs until fully cooked. It’s really important to fully cook the eggs for baby to reduce the risk of foodborne illness [3]. Once the eggs are done, cool them quickly (plunge them in cold water), peel them and separate the egg yolks from the whites.
Step 2: In a food processor, blend the avocado flesh and egg yolk.
Step 3: Add the lime juice, pepper and egg white and blend until the consistency is best for your baby.
HALVING THE RECIPE: This recipe can be halved, to one boiled egg with half an avocado. My Baby LJ was a great little eater, and so at 6 to 8 months this was the perfect single serving size for him. No leftovers for me!
THERMOMIX AVOCADO AND EGG PUREE:
Thermomixer? I absolutely love the egg boiling function on my Thermomix. It makes it really easy to make hard-boiled eggs every time! Once cooled, peel the eggs and separate the egg yolks from the whites. Then blend the avocado flesh and egg yolk. Add the lime juice, pepper and egg white and blend again.
Serving
This Avocado and Egg Puree can be:
- Spoon-fed as a smooth puree
- Spread onto toast for BLW
- Served as a dip with soft finger foods
- Used as a sandwich spread for toddlers
It has a naturally creamy texture and is easy to adapt as your baby progresses with solids. You can adjust the thickness by adding small amounts of cooled boiled water, breastmilk or formula to thin the puree if needed, or leave it chunkier when blending for older babies.
Storing
Store this Avocado and Egg Puree in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Avocado flesh turns brown once exposed to air, but the addition of acidic lime juice in this recipe will lessen the browning a little.
This puree isn’t suitable for freezing.
