Storage and Reheating Instructions
The high moisture content in these means that they can get watery/soggy as they sit and are best enjoyed fresh. Store leftovers in an airtight container lined with paper towels to soak up moisture. Reheat in the oven (350 degrees F for 5-10 minutes) as it will help dry up the extra moisture.
