๐Ÿ‘‰ UncrustableMuffins

 

 

We love the uncrustable sandwiches as a quick snack, but theyโ€™re kind of expensive for a pb&j, so Iโ€™ve been making our own. I make them in bulk so thereโ€™s a lot of leftover crusts and I hate to waste food, especially with current grocery prices so Iโ€™ve been trying to find a way to use these leftover crust pieces. Today some inspiration struck!ย ๐Ÿคชย French toast casserole muffins! Basically just mix eggs, cinnamon, vanilla, and milk (I used oat milk) and then soak your torn pieces of crust. Fill a sprayed muffin tin almost to the top and make at 350 degrees until set. Eat immediately, refrigerate for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months!
The crust from 21 sandwiches made 18 French toast muffins.
Hope this helps!!

Here are some tips to make the best Uncrustable French Toast Muffins:

  1. Ensure Proper Soaking:
    • Allow the torn crust pieces to soak in the egg mixture adequately. This ensures that the crusts absorb enough liquid and become moist and flavorful.
  2. Use Fresh Ingredients:
    • Opt for fresh eggs, milk, and any other ingredients. Fresh ingredients contribute to a better texture and taste in your French toast muffins.
  3. Experiment with Bread Types:
    • Consider using different types of bread for your uncrustables. Whole grain or artisan bread can add a unique flavor and texture to your French toast muffins.
  4. Add Flavor Enhancers:
    • Customize the egg mixture with additional flavor enhancers such as a pinch of nutmeg, a dash of almond extract, or orange zest for extra depth of flavor.
  5. Compact Mixture in Muffin Cups:
    • Press down gently on the soaked crust pieces in each muffin cup to create a compact mixture. This helps in achieving a well-formed and cohesive muffin.
  6. Control Sweetness:
    • Adjust the sweetness according to your preference. If you like sweeter French toast, you can add a bit of sugar to the egg mixture or serve with sweet toppings like syrup or fruit compote.
  7. Monitor Baking Time:
    • Keep an eye on the baking time to prevent overcooking. The muffins should be set, golden brown on top, and have a slightly crispy texture on the edges.
  8. Serve Fresh:
    • These muffins are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. The texture and flavor are at their peak when served immediately. However, if storing, follow the provided guidelines for refrigeration or freezing.
  9. Customize Toppings:
    • Get creative with toppings. Serve your Uncrustable French Toast Muffins with maple syrup, whipped cream, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar for added sweetness and visual appeal.
  10. Reheat with Care:
    • If reheating refrigerated or frozen muffins, do so in the oven or toaster oven for a few minutes to maintain the desired texture. Avoid using the microwave, as it can make the muffins soggy.

Remember, cooking is an art, and you can always tailor the recipe to your taste preferences. Enjoy your delicious Uncrustable French Toast Muffins
