How to prepare each food
Yuca
Peel the yuca, remove the woody center fiber, and boil it until a fork slides through with no resistance. Serve it as a smooth mash thinned with breast milk, formula, or its cooking water.
Smooth, soft mash with the central fiber removed.
Cooked yuca is dense and a little fibrous, so it can stay firm in spots. Cook it until very soft, remove the woody core and any stringy fibers, and serve it mashed or in small soft pieces, never in firm chunks.
Egg
Hard-cook the egg until both white and yolk are solid, then mash it smooth, or offer a well-set scramble or a soft omelet. A small amount, about a third of an egg, is plenty for a first taste.
Serve as a smooth mash, soft scramble curds, or finely chopped omelet strips.
Putting it together
Prepare each ingredient using the age guidance above, then serve them together.
