Uncrustables with Healthy School Snacks

sandwich bread

peanut butter

jam of choice

Other filling options (cream cheese and jam, hummus and cheese)

Stack the two slices of bread and cut out rounds using a cookie cutter or a sandwich sealer.

Spread peanut or sunflower seed butter onto one slice and jam on the other slice. Be sure to leave some room on the outer edges to prevent the filling from seeping out.

Bring the two slices together and crimp the edges by using the back of a fork or if using the sandwich sealer, place the large round around the bread and press down with the smaller round.

Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days. You can also freeze for up to 2 months.

Grilled Cheese Uncrustables are soft white bread, lightly toasted and filled with melted cheese. Perfect for a quick lunch or easy dinner, with or without ham.

cheddar cheese

butter (melted)

Get out and measure all of your ingredients.

Using a circle cutter, cut the crusts off of each slice of bread. Then cut all of your cheese with the same round cookie cutter.

Cut all of your ham too, if using.

Stack your meat and cheese on half of your slices of bread. Leave a small ring of plain bread around the edge.

Place one of your plain bread slices on top of each of your topped bread slices. Use the palm of your hand to gently squeeze the two halves of your sandwich together. Place your uncrustables in a pile. Using the prongs of a fork, crimp the edges of each of your sandwiches together, sealing the filling inside.

If you’d like to air fry your uncrustables, brush the outside of each with a little bit of butter and cook in a preheated 390 degree air fryer for 3 minutes on each side.

If you&#039;d like your uncrustables more toasted add another minute per side in your air fryer.

Serve and enjoy every bite!

Air Fryer

Brush melted butter on to your uncrustables. Place a few at a time in a skillet over medium heat, flipping after a couple minutes, until golden brown or onto a hot panini press or sandwich maker until warm and golden.

Sandwich Maker or Panini Press or Skillet on Stove Top

You can make one sandwich at a time, or make a batch of a few to stash in the freezer. Adjust this as needed for your preference.

Easiest Homemade Uncrustables

bread

Sandwich sealer

To make with a fork: Warm the bread in the microwave briefly for about 5 seconds. Place your bread on a cutting board. Cut out rounds using a round cookie cutter (3-4 inches is usually a good size). Add your fillings, leaving some space around the edges of the bread so the filling doesn't seep out. Assemble sandwiches, then crimp the edges of the bread together with a fork, pressing hard.

To make with a Sandwich Sealer: Warm the bread in the microwave briefly for about 5 seconds. Stack two pieces of bread and press the outer round down to cut rounds. (Or according to the directions of the sealer if you use a different kind than I have.) Add your fillings, leaving some space around the edges of the bread so the filling doesn't seep out. Put the round back around the bread, then press down with the smaller insert to crimp the edges.

Serve or freeze for later.

I make these all the time to stash in the freezer for my son and myself! I don’t have a sealer or a circle cookie cutter but I use a large rimmed glass to cut them out after assembling! I just make sure to put the filling only into a circle on the center of the bread, then I put the second piece of bread on top and stamp the circle out with the glass rim. With a little twisting the edges of the bread seal. Works great for me!

I just got the recommended sandwich sealers and have been using the smaller triangle cutters for my 2-year-olds. They love it!

The only way my toddler will eat a sandwich at this point! Best way to introduce him to PB&amp;Js. My technique is totally off thought — even if I cut them first and limit the filling, they don’t look nearly as beautiful as Amy’s. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you so much! I have made this so many times since you posted it and my kiddos love it. And I just made a batch for my sister who is a new mom to have as grab ’n’  go postpartum snacks!!

I saw this on your Instagram and cannot wait to try! I have a 3 inch biscuit cutter I am going to try first with a fork. I really want to order that cutter, so cute! I am always looking for easy lunch ideas that my toddler will find fun to eat. I LOVE that these can be frozen. I am going to prep a bunch of these tonight and keep for future lunches. Thank you for another great idea!
