Homemade Uncrustables Pocket Sandwiches
How to make easy homemade uncrustables pocket sandwiches with sandwich filling ideas - fun food idea for kids, great for packed lunches and bento boxes!
Servings: 1 child
Ingredients
- 2 pieces brown or white sliced bread
- sandwich filling of your choice*
Instructions
- Place one piece of bread on top of the other and carefully slice off the crusts (don't throw the crusts away, pop them in the freezer to turn into croutons or whizz up for bread crumbs later!).
- Open up the two pieces of bread, then spread your sandwich fillings over one of the pieces, leaving a border of at least 1cm of plain bread around the edge.
- Place the second piece of bread over your fillings to form a sandwich. With the tip of a fork, press all around the edges of the sandwich firmly to seal.
- Pack into an air-tight lunch box or serve.
- As well as rectangle sandwiches, you can also make round pocket sandwiches too. To make, follow the instructions above but use a round cookie cutter to cut the bread from the crusts before filling. Once you've sealed them with a fork, you can tidy them up by cutting the edges with the same cookie cutter before packing in a lunch box as before.
Notes
*Recommended sandwich fillings that work well for these sandwiches include cream cheese and jam, tuna mayo, houmous with roasted pepper, feta cheese, goats cheese or grated carrot, egg mayo, peanut butter and peanut butter with jam. If your kids attend a nut-free school, you could also use a nut-free butter alternative instead.
