An Easy Way to Make Finger Foods – Apple Ham Cheddar Quiche

julienne1One of the easiest ways to make finger foods for your baby is to grate foods using a cheese grater.  A great finger food for babies who are eating eggs, ok with dairy and ok with wheat is an Apple Ham Cheddar Quiche.  Ok, these 2 topics really go together even though it doesn’t seem like it right now!

Today I was making the quiche when I went to look for my cheese grater, to no avail.  So I rummaged through my drawer and found my julienne peeler.  I tried it out on the apple first, good to go.  Then I tried it out on the block of sharp cheddar I had, again I was good to go.

As I was looking at the cheese, I thought what a brilliant and easy way to get cheese and apple finger food!  The cheese comes out as one long shaving that you then tear apart to get the little slivers.  If you are careful, you can peel them apart just a wee bit and viola!  you have Santa’s beard – but I digress.

SO now you have an easy way to shave or grate finger food when you don’t feel like chopping or when you lose your cheese grater (please don’t ask me how I could lose my cheese grater!)

Now onto the Apple Ham Cheddar Quiche recipe

 

Enjoy!
