serve the ready cottage¹ cheese purée with pear²

Tips

Why it works: Mash the pear finely so it blends evenly with cottage cheese and avoids lumps that a baby may struggle to eat.
Substitutions: Use canned pears in syrup (drained) instead of fresh; reduce cottage cheese to 40g if too thick.
Common mistakes: Overmashing turns the pear into a watery paste. Check texture by squeezing a piece; it should hold shape slightly.
Storing and reheating: Eat fresh or store for 1 day in the fridge; reheat gently in a microwave for 10 seconds if cold.
Serve with: Pair with whole-grain toast strips for added fiber, or offer as a standalone snack after lunch.

In short

A child's portion for ages 1–3; suitable from 9 months. For younger kids, halve it and purée.
