Here are some items from the adult lunchbox that I like to take to work with me. All of these things can be eaten cold or at room temp.
Lunch
Chicken, Brie, and Fig Sandwich on Brioche
This homemade Chicken, Brie, and Fig Sandwich with caramelized onion on brioche is luxurious comfort-food heaven.
Pretzel Fried Chicken Tenders
Pretzel Fried Chicken Tenders are, as you might guess, impossibly crunchy. They beg for some kind of dipping sauce.
Chicken, Leek, and Mushroom Picnic Pies with Crème Fraîche Dijon Sauce
Chicken, Leek, and Mushroom Picnic Pies – with thyme, tarragon, shortcrust pastry, and crème fraîche Dijon are sophisticated comfort food.
Cottage Cheese and Berry Parfait
Cottage Cheese and Berry Parfait with blueberries, raspberries – or any berry – with a sprinke of cinnamon sugar and a drizzle of honey.
More Brats in the Toaster Oven
“More Brats in the Toaster Oven” produces a caramelized onion-saurkraut mix and dresses the brats up with a spicy aioli. No grill required.
Swiss Cheese and Onion Soup with Homemade Croutons
Swiss Cheese and Onion Soup with Homemade Croutons: another Mollie Katzen “Moosewood” recipe that I love, and have made again and again.
Keith’s Ham and Cheese Sandwich
If I were served this ham and cheese sandwich at a French café, I’d be pleased. I’d Instagram and rave about it, seriously. Yet so easy!
Savory Strudel
Although “more pie” is a great way to use an extra pie crust, sometimes you want meat and onions in a melty cheese. For your consideration: savory strudel … in other words, a hot sandwich baked in a crust. Everyday cooking; reheats well.
