Description
Make your own Homemade Uncrustables. They are a cost-effective and customizable alternative to store-bought versions. You can use your favorite fillings and freeze them for quick meals.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 slices of bread (white or wheat)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (or other nut/seed butter)
- 1/4 cup jelly or jam
- Uncrustable sandwich cutter (optional)
Instructions
- Lay out 6 slices of bread on a clean surface.
- Spread about 1 tablespoon of peanut butter on each of the 6 slices of bread, going almost to the edges.
- Spread about 2 teaspoons of jelly or jam over the peanut butter on each slice.
- Place the remaining 6 slices of bread on top of the filled slices to create sandwiches.
- If using an Uncrustable cutter, place it over the center of each sandwich and press down firmly to seal and cut the edges. Remove the crusts.
- If not using a cutter, use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles from the center of each sandwich, pressing firmly to seal the edges. You can also just press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
- Place the finished Uncrustables on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Freeze for 1-2 hours until firm.
- Once frozen, transfer the Uncrustables to a freezer-safe bag or container. Label with the date.
- To eat, remove from the freezer and let thaw at room temperature for 30-60 minutes, or until soft.
Notes
- Vary the fillings with different nut butters, jams, or even cream cheese and fruit.
- For best results, use fresh bread that is not too thin.
- Ensure the edges are sealed well to prevent freezer burn.
- These can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 month.
