Today I’m sharing five fresh and delicious school lunch ideas with hard-boiled eggs that you can prep ahead for the week.

Making a variety of lunches using only one main ingredient isn’t as hard as it sounds. You can pack fresh school lunches; no one will get bored all week long. 

I’ve done this with turkey, ham, chicken salad, hummus, and today- hard-boiled eggs! 

School & Office Lunches with Hard-Boiled Eggs

Eggs are a high-protein food and one of the most versatile ingredients for all sorts of meals. I often keep a batch of hard-boiled eggs in my fridge for a quick snack or for lunches like the ones I’m sharing here.

If you plan to use any of these recipes for a lunch meal prep, I recommend prepping the hard-boiled eggs ahead of time. I have a no-fail method for hard-boiled eggs that are easy to peel that will save you time and the hassle of egg-shells-sticking-to-egg-whites.

Hard-Boiled Eggs for Lunch

These lunch ideas are some of our favorite way to serve hard-boiled eggs. When I’m not making homemade egg salad with them, I’m usually packing one of these recipes for my kids’ lunches or my own office lunch.

1. Lunchbox Deviled Eggs

Everyone loves these as party food, so why not pack them for an easy lunch? This recipe uses hummus instead of mayonnaise for the creamy center. It’s just as tasty and has fewer calories.
