Instructions

Cream Cheese Bagel

  • Start by cutting the bagel in half, and then spread Emborg Cream Cheese on both halves.

  • Next, cut out your cucumber hearts. Start by slicing the desired amount and then cut out the middle with a heart shaped cookie cutter (or any other shapes you like)

  • Top your bagel with the hearts and use the rest of the cucumber as nutritious snacks.

Japanese Fruit Sandwich

  • This recipe is a super easy and delicious treat to complete any lunch box, with its creamy texture and delicious fresh fruits!

  • Start by preparing the fruit:
    - slice and peel the kiwi fruit into 3/4-inch-thick rounds
    - peel the mango, trim off the tapered edges, and cut the mango into 3/4-inch-thick batons
    - remove the tops from the strawberries and slice them in half.

  • Then, whip the cream by adding it to a cold bowl and whisking it for a few minutes at medium-high speed. When the mixture starts to form small bubbles on the surface, add in the vanilla extract and sugar. Whisk for a few more minutes until the cream is completely whipped - The whipped cream should be spreadable but not runny.

  • Spread a generous layer of whipped cream on one side of each slice of bread.
    Arrange the fruits evenly on top of the whipped cream on half of the bread slices. Try to place the fruits in a way that they will create a beautiful pattern when the sandwich is cut.

  • Add another layer of whipped cream on top of the fruits to help the top slice of bread stick.
    Place the remaining bread slices on top to form sandwiches, with the whipped cream side facing down.

  • Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap to help them hold their shape.
    Chill the wrapped sandwiches in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to an hour. This helps the whipped cream set and makes the sandwiches easier to cut.

  • Remove the sandwiches from the refrigerator and unwrap them.
    Trim the crusts off the sandwiches if desired.
    Cut the sandwiches into halves or quarters, ideally with a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts that show the beautiful fruit pattern inside.

Pesto Swirls

  • Start by preheating your oven to 180°C and prepare a baking tray with a baking sheet on top.

  • Now roll out your dough to a nice, even layer. Then, separate your dough in the middle so you end up with two evenly sized pieces.

  • Spread an even layer of green pesto onto one of the pieces and then sprinkle some Emborg Shredded Mozzarella on top.

  • Next, put the piece without pesto and cheese on top of the other, and gently press the two pieces together.

  • Slice your dough into pieces around 2 cm in width and then press down firmly to seal the edges and twist.

  • Transfer onto the baking tray lined with baking paper, brush with a beaten egg and bake for 25 minutes until golden brown.

Snacks

  • Snacks such as nuts and fruits are high in vitamins and contain healthy fats, making them a winner in the lunch box. In this lunch box, we have added edamame beans, cheese cubes and cucumber and almonds.

A fun tip to see if your whipped cream is ready is to hold the bowl upside down over your head. Good luck! Let’s hope it’s not too runny.
