Can you be more specific about "this case"?  Does it look more like this (something we've developed a good solution for):

Predicate<String> ps = Predicate.and(x -> !x.isEmpty(), x -> x.matches("foo.*"));

Or this (Remi's example):

Set<Runnable> sr = Collections.singleton(() -> System.gc());

(The difference being that a functional interface appears in the declaration of 'and', but not in the declaration of 'singleton'.)
