Method

  1. Spread 1 tablespoon peanut butter in a circle in the middle of 4 bread slices, leaving a 1-inch border bare.

  2. Spoon 1 tablespoon jam into the center of the peanut butter, keeping it away from the edges, and top with the remaining bread.

  3. Press a wide drinking glass or a sandwich sealer (about 3½ inches across) firmly down over the filling and twist to cut out a sealed round. Press the edges with a fork if they need help sticking.

  4. Pack right away, or freeze in a zip-top bag for up to 1 month. Packed frozen in the morning, they thaw by lunchtime.

Tips

  • Peanut butter on both slices keeps the jam from soaking through the bread.
  • Soft, fresh bread seals best; day-old bread tends to crack at the edges.
  • Save the crusts for French toast sticks or homemade breadcrumbs.
