Nutritious Egg Lunch Ideas For School

Making school lunches can be an intimidating, even overwhelming task for many parents, especially if they’re extremely busy or their child is a picky eater.  But nutrition or taste don’t have to be sacrificed when making a quick, easy school lunch; here are some egg lunch ideas to provide those kids their energy and nourishment the whole day.

 Egg pizza pockets

Get some frozen pie dough, eggs, salt and pepper, butter, pizza sauce, pepperoni slices, mozzarella cheese, and ranch dressing to make this crispy, exciting lunch or snack dish for schoolkids.  The pizza pockets can be prepared the night ahead and fried to a golden brown in the morning for only about three minutes.

 Egg burrito

Here’s a wrap that’s fresh, wholesome, and easy to assemble.  Get those scrambled eggs cooked with an assortment of veggies, from broccoli to tomatoes to spinach.  Heat the tortilla prior to use.  Stuff it with the scrambled eggs mixture, and wait until the tortilla turns golden brown before removing from pan.  Pack it with some salsa sauce.

 Avocado toast

Get a slice of whole wheat bread and add some avocado slices.  As another layer, add slices of hardboiled eggs, and then top it with some dried pepper flakes.  In your grade schooler’s lunch box, add some fresh slices of apples, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes for a healthy lunch treat.
