Each person's taste preferences and habits are formed in the first years of life. For this reason, the children's menu should be tasty, healthy and varied. Every child should definitely include meat or fish in the daily diet. These foods are a source of iron, complete protein and other nutrients, from which they are considered essential foods.
It is advisable for small children to cook meat dishes from minced meat, which, due to its consistency, instills the first chewing skills. In addition, mostly children do not really like to eat meat, but they almost never refuse tasty and juicy cutlets. Therefore, today I want to share a very simple recipe for cutlets baked in the oven, made from veal.
It is preferable to bake cutlets for baby food for babies from 3 years old in the oven, and for younger children - steam or in milk sauce, and use lean chicken. It is not recommended to put a lot of spices and spices in children's cutlets.

Cooking cutlets for children
1. Wash the veal under running water, dry with a paper towel and twist in a meat grinder through the middle wire rack. Peel, wash and mince onions and garlic.
2. Salt and pepper the minced meat and beat in an egg.
3. Then mix well until smooth.
4. Select a baking dish and line it with baking parchment. Although you don't have to, I only use it to make it easier to clean the baking sheet. Now, instead of the usual classic shaped round cutlets, put the minced meat on a baking sheet, in the shape of an animal or a figurine. It is advisable to involve your baby in this process. In my case, it was a dog (maybe not very successful).
5. Use olives to make eyes and paws for a dog or other animal. Since our dog has a white back, we repeated it from grated cheese. Heat the oven to 200 degrees and send the cutlets to bake for 30 minutes.
Cutlets can be made in any shape. For example, to lay out spitefully, a kolobok, a Christmas tree, etc. figures that your kid wants. I am sure that the cutlet, which the child prepares himself, he will eat it with great pleasure.
