Egg muffins are a great easy lunchbox snack. These are filled with oozy cheddar cheese, sweet cherry tomatoes and baby spinach – but you can switch up the fillings if you like. You could do half the tray with feta, ham and peppers, and the other half with our fillings listed above. This way, your child can enjoy a variety of egg muffins throughout the week. To complete the ‘Great Value’ Lunchbox recipe try the Strawberries with Choco-vanilla Yoghurt Dip and Chicken and Red Pepper Pittas with Tomato Yoghurt Sauce.Time and servings
