BREAKFAST ON THE GO! story and photos by Jenny P., @lunchboxmafia
During the lazy days of summer, we often skipped breakfast or ate it much later in the day. Now that school is back in session, I'm sharing some ideas you can make ahead or pack—and still make it out the door in time!
HARD BOILED EGGS:
MUFFINS:
I love adding hard boiled eggs to salads or ramen or just sprinkling them with everything bagel seasoning in the lunchbox. But this is my favorite morning toast with hard boiled eggs!
Ingredients:
● 1 slice of toast
● 1/2 teaspoon salt
● 1 tablespoon tzatziki (Greek yogurt with dill and diced cucumber)
● 2 tablespoon sugar
● 1 sliced hardboiled egg ● Sliced scallions or chives to sprinkle on toast ● Salt and pepper to taste
● 2 cups all-purpose f lour ● 1 tablespoon baking powder
● 1 cup milk of your choice ● 1/2 cup butter (unsalted) ● 2 large eggs
Directions: Preheat the oven to 350. Spray muffin tin with Baker’s Joy or use paper liners to line your muffin tin and set aside. Mix your wet ingredients. Fold in your dry ingredients until well combined.
QUICHE Ingredients: ● 1 pie crust shell (at room temperature) ● 6 large eggs ● 3/4 cup of milk ● 1 cup cheese ● 1/2 teaspoon salt ● 1 teaspoon black pepper ● 1/4 cup chives ● (Optional: 1 cup of ham or sausage) ● 1 red pepper sliced will add gorgeous color
Directions: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Unroll your pie crust and press into a pie plate (9” round). Whisk your eggs and combine with cheese, milk, chives and seasoning. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
To reheat your quiche: Oven: cover your slice of quiche in foil and bake at 325 for about 8 minutes. Air fryer: 320 degrees for 3 minutes.

Divide evenly into 12 sections of your tin and bake muffins for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the middle of a muffin. Tweak this basic muffin recipe to your liking by adding 1 cup berries and 1/2 cup sugar for a sweet muffin. Or add 1/2 cup broccoli f lorets, 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder for a savory muffin.
