Easy Lunchbox Idea: Bacon & Egg Muffin Hack for School Lunches

Think outside the sandwich!

Here’s why a bacon & egg muffin makes the perfect addition to any school lunchbox (yes, even served cold).

👀 Yep, you saw that right - a bacon & egg muffin in the lunchbox!

Sometimes, we forget that breakfast foods can make amazing school lunches. Kids love the surprise, it’s filling, and it’s such a fun way to mix up the usual Monday to Friday routine.

Why It Works

  • Kid-approved: Bacon + egg is a winning combo.

  • Quick prep: Make extra at breakfast and pop one in the lunchbox.

  • Tasty cold: No reheating needed - still delicious straight from the lunchbox.

  • Customisable: Add cheese, avo, or swap the muffin for brioche.
