How to Store, Freeze & Reheat

This casserole is a meal prep hero. Cut it into squares and store in airtight containers for up to 3 days; it reheats beautifully in the microwave for a quick breakfast on the go. For longer storage, wrap individual portions in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months.

To serve, I love pairing it with a fresh fruit salad and a drizzle of hot sauce for a little kick. It’s also fantastic on a brunch buffet next to muffins and coffee—everyone can grab a slice and go. Just reheat frozen portions overnight in the fridge or straight in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
