The content creator walked viewers through her simple preparation process, starting with two slices of white bread.

"I started by having my bread sides, the crusts I removed. I always save them for bread crumbs, don't worry," she explained, showing how she repurposes the crusts to minimize waste.

After removing the crusts, she placed cheese slices between the bread pieces and used a fork to press down the edges, creating a sealed sandwich pocket. Next came the transformation from ordinary to extraordinary:

"I put the egg wash on my bread and I dunked it, rather dipped it, in crushed Doritos."

The Dorito-coated sandwich was then pan-fried until golden and crispy on both sides.

Balancing nutrition and appeal

While creative recipes like Dorito-crusted sandwiches add excitement to lunchboxes, nutritionists recommend balancing fun foods with nutritious options. Jessica D'Argenio Waller, a nutritionist and mother, shared that packing lunches is about finding the right balance between foods children will eat and foods that provide necessary nutrients.

Her approach involves including a variety of food options from different categories and rotating among them each week to prevent monotony while ensuring nutritional balance.

Exposing children to diverse foods from a young age helps foster an appreciation for various flavors and nutritional choices. While they might not immediately embrace every healthy option, pairing familiar favorites with less familiar foods encourages exploration and eventually broader food acceptance.
