CHECK that ALL ingredients bear the Egg-Free label Cook the white beans in water (30 min) until tender Cut the fennel bulb into small cubes (1.5 cm) - remove tough core Cook the tapioca pearls in water (15 min) until translucent Cut the pineapple into small cubes (remove hard core)
Mix the flax seeds with water and let gel (10 min)
Wash and finely chop the basil
Take all ingredients out 20 min before (room temperature) Cutting board Paring knife Kitchen scale Mixing bowl Steamer pot Do NOT buy a product without reading the label Do not cut too large: choking hazard Do not leave tough fennel core Do not forget to remove pineapple core Do not add salt: baby's immature kidneys ⚠️ NEVER serve a product that may contain hidden eggs Cut ALL pieces the same size for even cooking For 12-18 months: thinner pieces (1 cm) Test cooking with a fork: beans should be melting-tender KEEP PACKAGING of sensitive products to prove egg-free Check LABELS even for 'obvious' products (e.g. spice mixes sometimes contain eggs) Take out 30 min before for better incorporation 2
Mash the cooked white beans in a large bowl Add the fennel mashed into a smooth purée Fold in the cooked tapioca and diced pineapple Add the binder (flax egg) Pour in the olive oil and half of the basil Mix with a wooden spoon Adjust the texture (tapioca flour if too sticky) Shape the tartelettes with oiled hands Place in tartelette molds Large bowl Wooden spoon Fork Clean hands Silicone tartelette molds Do not overmix: elastic dough Do not add too much flour: shapes become too dense Do not forget to shape tightly: otherwise it crumbles Do not make tartelettes too big: max 5 cm diameter Do not leave air in the dough ⚠️ Check that utensils have not been in contact with eggs If the dough is too sticky: add 1 tsp tapioca flour If too dry: add 1 tsp liquid (water or adapted milk) Shape with damp hands: the shapes won't stick Use silicone tartelette molds for easy removal Vary sizes according to age For 24-36 months: bigger tartelettes 3
Preheat the oven to 180°C fan Lightly oil the tartelette molds Arrange the tartelettes leaving 2 cm between each Bake in the middle of the oven for 17 min Check cooking halfway through Remove when tartelettes are golden Let cool 3-4 min Test the temp with a finger: warm Serve immediately Tartelette molds Pastry brush Fork Tongs Timer Do not forget to preheat Do not overcrowd the molds Do not open the oven in the first 8 min Do not overcook: becomes hard and dry Do not use too high heat Do not unmould too hot: burns Check cooking: fork comes out clean For 12-18 months: more moist cooking For 24-36 months: more golden cooking If browning too fast: lower to 160°C Test with a toothpick: should come out clean Remove when shapes come off easily 4
Prepare a fresh pineapple cube garnish Arrange the warm tartelettes on baby's plate Add small pineapple pieces around (no core) Show how to pick up the tartelettes Serve warm Watch baby during the meal Monitor allergy signs (rash, swelling) Put leftovers in the fridge Baby plate Small bowl + suction cup Spoon Non-slip cloth Phone (emergency) Do not serve burning hot Always remove pineapple core before serving Do not leave baby alone Do not put too many pineapple pieces Do not reheat several times ⚠️ NEVER add an ingredient with hidden eggs Serve warm: flavors are more developed Pineapple adds color and vitamin C For 12-18 months: cut tartelettes in half Silicone bowl with suction cup Offer 2-3 different sides Keep phone nearby in case of allergic reaction
