Egg-Free Lunchbox Ideas

Egg allergies are one of the most common in children, which makes the school lunchbox a puzzle. These kid-friendly recipes skip eggs entirely, spanning cuisines and meal types so the rotation stays interesting. Eggs hide in baked goods and sauces, so double-check any packaged items you pair with these dishes.
