The Meal Train Dinner Everyone Loves | Esty Wolbe

A friend of mine recently had a baby and I asked her what's her favorite meal to get because I wanted to know what to make her. And she told me her favorite meal to give to someone on a meal train is a schnitle sandwich bar. And I thought that was genius cuz you have all the components and you can mix and match according to what your kids like and everybody is happy. So today we're making a schnitle sandwich bar to go. [Music] This video is sponsored by Similac. >> Schnitle's pretty basic and everybody knows how to make schnitle. So, I'll show you a quick, easy cleanup trick that doesn't require any dishes. And I understand the irony of doing this on like the set of a cooking show where there's like everything is in its own dish, but obviously in your kitchen, it's not going to be that way. So, we set out a sheet of foil and then we take a little smaller one and we make kind of a bowl with it. We fold up a side. Fold up the other side. Okay, now we've got flour on one side. Season it up with some salt and pepper. And then panko on this side. And our eggs right in the center. I use the back of my fork to mix in the seasonings. And I have my oil heated. I have my fries in the oven. I have my sauteed onions sauteed already. There are a lot of moving parts to this recipe, but anything to make a family's life a little bit easier when they're welcoming a new baby. And I am in. So, here we go. Put on some gloves. And we're going to do wet hand, dry hand. And what that means is that one hand is going to touch all the wet parts and one hand is going to go in for all the dry. And that way you don't get those like cakey fingers. So we have dry, then wet, then dry, [Music] and into the hot oil. [Music] And the best part is that when we're all done, we just roll it up. Tada. And all you have to do is wipe down the counter. But come on, there's no dishes to wash, and that's great. Now, while the schnitle's finish frying, I like making something a little special to send for the mom to have something to like just grab a quick bite. It could be the following day. It could be for dessert. It could be for late at night feedings. Just like something to quickly snack on. So, I've got some oats, peanut butter, honey, and chia seeds. And we're going to make this mix this all together in one bowl. And anytime I've sent this, the moms were so grateful cuz dinner's really nice and it's really really helpful. But the next day, you know, mom's kind of just like rumaging through the pantry trying to find something to eat and really really happy to see these. [Music] You grab a container and just make little balls. [Music] Okay, we got our sauteed onions in here. For my family, this is an absolute must for a schnitle sandwich bar. And we start packaging things up. So, we've got our sauteed onions. We've got our energy bites. Okay, let's package our schnitles. They're so crunchy and gorgeous. [Music] And now we get the fries. [Music] Now, let's package it up. We've got our baguettes. We have our French fries. We have our schnitzel, sliced tomatoes, sliced pickles, sliced red onion, sauteed onions, energy bites, lettuce, sauces. Oh, and don't forget about the baby. And we're good to go. [Music] Oh my goodness, Estie, you're the best. How did you know that my cats love this schnitzo? Could not get better. Okay, you literally included everything for the baby. Oh my gosh, you're too cute. Sauces, fries. Are these energy balls? Check out how Q Hugh Myri made himself the sandwich himself. Isn't that cute? And this is yakos. Okay, just ketchup. Yum. I'm eating one of your energy bowls and they're so good. This is the best dinner I ever got. Just saying. [Music] [Applause] again. I don't know. It's like my first day filming. Toa needs to give me tips. [Music] So patient. I'm so proud of you. He sat there so nicely for such a long time. He just wants for a month. I didn't even have What am I saying? What am I saying? What am I saying? [Music] I think I'm going to start it again because it just makes more sense to me.
