About This Recipe

These three lunchbox fillings, chicken mayo, ham and cheese, and egg mayo, are made for the school week: quick to put together, but still worth reaching for by Wednesday. Each one uses a different LANCEWOOD® cheese slice or spread, so lunch doesn’t taste the same three days running.

Rotating between three fillings means lunchboxes never feel repetitive, chicken and mayonnaise one day, LANCEWOOD® Cream Cheese and ham the next, egg mayo for bold lunchbox flavours.

Small variety, but it matters when the same lunchbox gets packed every morning, and it means an empty lunchbox at pick-up rather than a half-eaten sandwich.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the ham and cheese sandwich different from the others?

It uses LANCEWOOD® Cream Cheese as a spread alongside LANCEWOOD® Sweetmilk Slices, rather than mayonnaise, along with ham and tomato.

Can I prepare these sandwiches the night before?

Yes, though sandwiches with tomato are best assembled closer to the morning, since the tomato can make the bread soggy if left too long.

What can I pack alongside these lunchbox sandwiches?

A LANCEWOOD® Double Cream Yoghurt Multipack rounds out the lunchbox as a quick, ready-to-eat side.

How many of these sandwiches does the recipe make?

Each version makes one sandwich, so multiply the ingredients by however many lunchboxes you are packing.
