Ingredients
- 4 slices of soft white or whole wheat bread
- 2 tablespoons of peanut butter creamy or crunchy
- 2 tablespoons of jelly or jam your choice of flavor
- Cooking spray or melted butter for brushing
Instructions
- Prepare the Sandwich: Spread peanut butter on one slice of bread and jelly on another. Place the slices together to form a sandwich.
- Seal the Edges: Use a sandwich sealer or the back of a fork to press the edges of the sandwich, sealing in the filling tightly.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and preheat for about 3-5 minutes.
- Air Fry the Sandwich: Lightly spray the outside of the sandwich with cooking spray or brush with melted butter. Place the sandwich in the air fryer basket.
- Cook: Air fry for 3-4 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
- Serve: Allow to cool slightly, then slice into halves or quarters for serving.
Notes
- Customizations: You can use different fillings such as Nutella and banana, cream cheese and blueberry preserves, or even ham and Swiss cheese for savory versions.
- Freezer-Friendly: For meal prep, freeze uncrustables before cooking. Wrap each one individually in parchment or plastic wrap, and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, cook from frozen at 350°F for 2-3 minutes.
- Bread Variations: Feel free to experiment with different bread types like whole wheat, sourdough, or gluten-free for a customized taste.
- Crispiness Tip: For the crispiest results, ensure the sandwich edges are sealed well and the bread is fresh.
