Egg-free lunchbox ideas

  Naomi Mason,

Whether you've noticed eggs are in short supply or you're feeling the rising cost of a carton of eggs at the checkout, this list of our favourite egg-free recipes has got you covered.

Many of these can be made in advance with enough for leftovers, perfect for putting in the fridge or freezer to enjoy again on another day.

TIP:
When it comes to baking, it is helpful to know your egg substitutes for those recipes that require an egg. A simple swap for one egg is one tablespoon of chia seeds mixed with three tablespoons of water. Let this sit for a few minutes until the chia seeds swell and the mixture looks like a gel. This means it is ready to use in place of an egg in your baking.
