How do I get my kid to eat hard boiled eggs?

Anonymous
It would be such a great, easy option for lunches. She eats scrambled eggs but has never even tried hard boiled. She is a very picky eater and never wants to try new things, she's also very sensitive to smells and the eggy sulfur smell bothers her. Any tips?

Oh and she is 5.5

They are gross. Don't make her eat them just because it's easier for you.

Egg salad? Otherwise, you can't.

I'm an adult and I still can't eat hard boiled eggs. Some things aren't meant to be eaten.

Maybe make them into deviled eggs?

Lol. They aren't gross.

Have you ever tried making them from tiny eggs? Medium sized ones? Quails eggs even? Make it a novelty.

Mine will only eat the white and not the yolk. They are teenagers.

Have you tried letting her use the egg slicer? That works for my 5 yo

I think pps have good suggestions. However if she has smell sensitivities, nothing is going to take that smell away

You're funny, OP. If your kid is 5 and a picky eater I'm sure you know by now there is NO CHANCE you can convince her to eat something once she has dug in heels. My kid will eat an omelet but not scrambled eggs. They are not rational creatures. Come up with other lunch options. Have you tried hummus and veggies, soup in a thermos, cheese and crackers?

My dd likes hard boiled eggs but won't eat them at school bc she feels like her mouth stays eggy and it gives her terrible breath other kids notice.

Try giving her the white part only at home on a weekend. A little salt. Do you eat them? Eating them in front of her can help. But I wouldn't force it.
