1. Ham & Cheese Quiche Tarts
These tarts are tasty hot or cold, making them a good option for lunches or on-the-run snacks.
2. Broccoli Mustard Cheese Crackers
The smokiness of the Applewood cheddar and the tangy crunch of the mustard make these crackers a delicious and impressive appetizer. Why limit them to entertaining when you can add them to the lunch box and dress up a bowl of soup or fresh veggies?
3. Mustard Hamburger Soup
Have the kids help make this savoury and satisfying soup that will stay warm in a thermos or reheat well. The mustard in this recipe is added late in the cooking process to preserve the mustard flavour. One bowl has 44% of the recommended daily protein and 24% of the recommended dietary fibre so it’s both good and good for you.
4. Bacon Cheddar Muffins
These hearty muffins can be served as luncheon fare along with a salad or bowl of soup. They’re also perfect for a midmorning snack or breakfast. Add an egg and build your own breakfast sandwich.
5. Grilled Chicken Banh Mi Sandwiches with Pickled Vegetables in a Mustard Vinaigrette
Fresh and tasty, this is a fantastic sandwich that will get repeat requests. Prepare everything the night before and assemble this spectacular sandwich in a baguette or crusty roll in the morning for a lunch that will wow family members.
