Freezable Homemade Uncrustables (Printer-Friendly Version)
Make quick, freezable uncrustables using your choice of bread and fillings for easy, hassle-free lunches or snacks.
# What You'll Need:
→ Bread
01 -
8 slices sandwich bread (white or light wheat)
→ Fillings
02 -
4 tablespoons peanut butter
03 -
2 tablespoons fruit jelly or jam (any flavor)
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Lay out all bread slices on a clean surface for assembly.
02 -
Evenly spread peanut butter on one side of each bread slice, covering the entire surface up to the edges.
03 -
Spread jelly or jam on top of the peanut butter layer of half the bread slices, either fully covering or as a centered dollop.
04 -
Place peanut butter-only slices on top of jelly-covered slices to form sandwiches, peanut butter sides facing the jelly.
05 -
Use a 3- to 4-inch round biscuit cutter or sandwich sealer to cut out and seal the sandwiches, removing crusts and enclosing the filling.
06 -
Individually wrap each sealed sandwich tightly in plastic wrap, then place multiple wrapped sandwiches inside a gallon-size freezer bag.
07 -
Lay sandwiches flat in the freezer until completely frozen, at least several hours or overnight, before stacking or storing upright.
08 -
Remove frozen sandwiches directly from the freezer into lunch containers without thawing; they will thaw by lunchtime.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Spreading peanut butter on both slices prevents bread from becoming soggy by creating a moisture barrier.
02 -
Use leftover crusts for homemade breadcrumbs or croutons to reduce waste.
