What would you make for a quick lunch with a friend?

I have a friend coming over for lunch next week. I'm not overly used to hosting, so this is a bit out of my comfort zone. What should I make for lunch? It's only the two of us and it'll be a reasonably quick catch up as we both have to go back to work afterwards. I'm not sure a "big" dish like a lasagne is appropriate and I don't want anything too complicated. What would you make in this scenario?

I really had no idea so many people hated quiche!

Useful to know.

Is this within a lunch hour. So you have to get home make something for you both and then travel back to work

A quiche or frittata with salad, it can be made in advance so you can make the most of the time to catch up.

Omelette and salad

Small platter with meat, cheese, salad and a crispy roll. Yum.

I'd make a really good BLT if it was just a quick lunch during the working day. Obviously only if they eat bacon...
