If you're looking for a creative, non-sandwich idea for your child's school lunch box, we've got you covered! Say hello to these mini Lunchbox Quiches, made using Stand 'n Stuff tortilla taco shells.

These handheld quiches are perfect for picky eaters because the fillings are fully customizable. You can pack them with your child's favourite vegetables or repurpose leftovers like roasted veggies or meats from the fridge.

The best part? They’re packed with protein and nutrients to keep kids fueled throughout the school day. Plus, they taste great warm or cold, making them a convenient addition to your lunchbox rotation.

Ingredients:

• 3 Stand 'n Stuff mini taco tortillas (we used Old El Paso)
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon of thickened cream
• 2 slices of ham
• ¼ cup grated cheddar cheese
• Your choice of vegetables (think tomatoes, spinach, corn, peas, mushrooms, or roasted pumpkin!)

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C.
2. Prepare the tortillas: Arrange the mini tortillas on a baking sheet.
3. Add fillings: Fill each tortilla with chopped ham and your selected vegetables.
4. Mix the egg base: Whisk together the eggs and thickened cream.
5. Assemble the quiches: Pour the egg mixture over the tortillas until the fillings are just covered.
6. Top with cheese: Sprinkle grated cheddar on top.
7. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the center is set.
8. Cool down: Let the quiches cool completely before packing them into lunchboxes.

Tips for Success:

• Make it vegetarian: Skip the ham and load up on your kiddo’s favourite veggies.
• Meal prep hero: Double the recipe and freeze extras for an easy lunchbox grab-and-go option.
• Add some flair: Try sprinkling some Italian herbs or a dash of paprika for extra flavour.

These Lunchbox Quiches are a fantastic way to add variety to your school lunch routine without the hassle. Let us know what fillings you choose and how your kids enjoy them!
