Storage:
Allow leftovers to cool completely and then cover tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Will keep in refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.How to Reheat:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees and reheat covered leftovers (remember to remove the plastic wrap and replace with aluminum foil) for 20 to 25 minutes. I also place a single piece on a glass plate and reheat in the microwave at 40% power for 2 minutes or in the air fryer (not on a plate) at 325 degrees for 15 minutes.As with any of my recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
