Freezable Homemade Uncrustables (Ready-to-Print Version)
Delicious crustless sandwiches made ahead, ideal for lunches, trips, and snacks with simple, customizable ingredients.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Bread
01 -
8 slices sandwich bread (white or wheat, excluding dense whole wheat or sourdough)
→ Fillings
02 -
120 ml smooth peanut butter (or preferred nut butter)
03 -
120 ml fruit jelly or jam of choice
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Lay out 8 slices of sandwich bread on a clean surface, ensuring they are soft and suitable for crust removal.
02 -
Evenly spread peanut butter over the entire surface of each bread slice, extending to the edges for full coverage.
03 -
Apply a layer of jelly or jam over the peanut butter on half of the slices, either spreading evenly or placing a central dollop.
04 -
Place peanut butter-only slices atop jelly-spread slices to form sandwiches, aligning edges carefully.
05 -
Using a 3 to 4-inch round biscuit or cookie cutter, press down firmly over each sandwich and remove crusts; pinch or press edges to seal fillings inside.
06 -
Individually wrap each sealed sandwich in plastic wrap, then place wrapped sandwiches in a gallon-size freezer bag and lay flat in freezer until solid.
07 -
After freezing, store sandwiches flat or stacked carefully without compression. Remove from freezer and pack directly in lunch containers without thawing.
# Handy Tips:
01 -
Spreading peanut butter on both slices prevents bread sogginess by protecting it from jelly moisture.
02 -
Leftover crusts make excellent breadcrumbs, croutons, or bird feed.
