With shorter days and frosty temps, it’s always helpful to have a repertoire of warm and filling meals that chase away the winter blues. Bonus points if those meals pack a punch with high fiber and more protein than you’d expect to keep you full and satisfied.

Keeping that in mind, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite Hero Bread™ recipes to try out this winter:

• Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Tomato Soup – It’s a classic for a reason. This is the grilled cheese you remember from childhood, but with bread that’s all grown up. Made with a can of crushed tomatoes, this soup cooks up quickly and gives a ton of flavor. With 2 slices of Hero Classic White Bread, you’ll add 22g fiber and 10g of protein to this simple, nostalgic meal.
• Enchiladas – Hearty, filling, and easy to scale up for meal prep, these enchiladas are vegetarian, but you could add shredded chicken or ground beef to really amp up the protein. We recommend doubling the recipe for leftovers that make a perfect lunch for the next day.
• Garlic Rolls – An easy way to get a sneaky boost of protein and fiber in a fluffy, bready package. Made with Hero Classic Burger Buns, these are the perfect, flavorful side to soups, stews and Sunday night roasts.
• PB&J Baked French Toast – We love traditional French toast made on a weekend morning. But it can be challenging to whip up for a crowd. Enter this baked PB&J version. With 10 minutes of prep (which you can also do the night before), you’re ready to bake up a holiday-worthy breakfast. While it bakes, you can use your favorite antioxidant packed berries to make your own quick jam to top your French toast with.
• Winter Croissant Sandwich – Our favorite way to savor our croissants might be with nothing more than a hot cup of coffee. But if you have Hero Croissants on hand after your holiday festivities, we urge you to try this twist on a leftover turkey sandwich. If you don’t have them on hand, you can toast up some Hero Seeded Bread instead (and sign up to be the first to know when Croissants are back).
