For Bentos: Corn and Cheese Egg Chakin (Bundles)

The nursery school my daughter used to go to used to have bento days even for children younger than 3...I wanted to include her favorite corn kernels, but they're small and difficult to eat, so I folded them into little omelettes!

The cheese is salty, so please adjust the seasoning. You can add sugar to make it a little bit sweet. Small children may find this easier to eat if you cut it up into 3 to 4 pieces. When holding the wrapped omelette, please be careful not to burn yourself! Recipe by Yomehunch

Ingredients

2 servings
  1. 1Egg
  2. 1Seasoning of your choice (salt, pepper, sugar etc.)
  3. 1to 2 tablespoons Pizza cheese (or sliced cheese)
  4. 1 tbspCorn kernels

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Microwave the corn kernels for 30 to 40 seconds, or saute lightly in a frying pan.

  2. 2

    Beat the eggs in a bowl and season with the seasoning of your choice. (I used salt and pepper.)

  3. 3

    Add the cheese (if using sliced cheese rip it up) and the cooked corn kernels to the egg, and mix.

  4. 4

    Heat some oil in a frying pan, put in the egg mixture and cook.

  5. 5

    Turn the heat off before the egg is totally cooked, and transfer the egg to pieces of plastic wrap you've spread out. (I used 2 pieces here.)

  6. 6

    Wrap the plastic wrap around the egg and twist to make a small bundle. (It's hot so be careful not to burn yourself.) Leave for a while.

  7. 7

    If you try opening them and they aren't falling apart, take off the wrap and leave to cool before packing in a bento box.

  8. 8

    COOKPAD user Miyuki tried sprinkling some parsley. Colorful and cute!
