Description
Homemade uncrustables are freezer-friendly and customizable—perfect for quick lunches, snacks, and meal prep.
Ingredients
12 slices sandwich bread (white, wheat, or brioche-style)
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or sunflower butter)
1/2 cup jam or jelly
2 tablespoons softened butter (optional, for sealing)
Optional: 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for sweet fillings like Nutella)
Instructions
Lay out bread slices and gently flatten each with a rolling pin.
Spread peanut butter on 6 slices, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Add jam in the center (about 1 tablespoon per sandwich).
Lightly brush the border with softened butter (optional, helps seal).
Top with remaining bread slices and press firmly.
Cut and seal using a sandwich sealer or a 3-inch round cutter, then crimp edges with a fork.
Freeze: Wrap individually and freeze up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight or at room temp 30 to 60 minutes.
Notes
Avoid soggy bread: Keep jam in the center and peanut butter as a barrier.
Swap fillings: Turkey + cheese, ham + Swiss, or hazelnut spread + banana slices (eat same day).
Tools: Rolling pin, round cutter/sandwich sealer.
