What You Need

Cloud bread makes this sandwich special: it’s naturally gluten-free and super soft! Here’s what you’ll need to turn it into a stellar low-carb lunch:

Lettuce or sprouts: add crunch and freshness with lettuce, sprouts, or spinach.
Mayonnaise: adds moisture and creaminess; if your kids aren’t fans, try cream cheese or hummus for a different twist.
Cloud bread: you can make it yourself, find it in specialty stores or use other low-carb bread options.
Ham: swap it out for turkey, chicken, or even a plant-based alternative if preferred.
Cheese: mild and creamy, provolone pairs perfectly with ham; or choose your favorite cheese.

How to Make a Cloud Bread Sandwich for School

This sandwich comes together in minutes, making it perfect for those crazy busy mornings. Simple, quick, and satisfying.

Spread mayo
Spread mayo on both pieces of cloud bread. This not only adds flavor but also acts as a barrier to keep the bread from getting soggy.
Layer the ingredients
Place the lettuce first and then layer the ham and cheese between the slices, pressing gently to hold everything together.
Pack for school
Place your cloud bread sandwich inside a hard lunch container, packing any lunch sides separately. Keep refrigerated if making ahead of time.

Keeping Sandwiches Fresh for School Lunches

Keeping this cloud-like sandwich intact and appetizing until lunchtime is key. These tips will help ensure success:

Choose the right container
Use a hard-sided lunch container to prevent the bread from getting squished, and ensure the sandwich fits snugly into the container.

Layer strategically
Use crisp lettuce or layer a slice of cheese next to the bread to act as a moisture barrier and prevent the ham from making the cloud bread soggy.

Use parchment
If the cloud bread is extra fluffy, wrap it in parchment paper to help it hold its shape before placing it in the container.

Keep it cool
Include an ice pack in the lunch bag to keep the ingredients cool and safe to eat.
