I made these and froze several of the extra after baking. How do you recommend reheating? I have an air fryer so was considering using that. Any guidance will be greatly appreciated!
Karin and Ken
I love these things and they’re great to keep inside your freezer. To reheat after freezing, thaw overnight in your fridge and microwave until they are warmed all the way through. Usually a minute or so. That is the way we reheated for years and still do on occasion. Lately, we take them right out of the freezer and air fry at 325 degrees F for two or three minutes. Depending on their size. You’ll know the exact timing in your air fryer after you preheat and make the first one. My son removes them from the freezer when he wakes up and leaves them on the counter. After showering and getting ready he puts them inside the air fryer for one minute on 325 degrees. That is warm enough for him. I hope this helps. Please let me know what works for you. I’d love to hear. All the best. Karin

I make these at least once a month. Cooking for one, so I freeze them (2 per ziplock bag) and eat them a couple of times a week. Defrost in the frig the night before and then into my toaster oven to warm up. Yum!
Karin and Ken

Can these be made. Day before and cooked next day thanks
Karin and Ken
First I have to apologize for the delay in my response. We had a health scare with my husband, luckily he is ok, but I kind of forgot I had a website. Again I am truly sorry. That being said. Unfortunately you need to bake them as soon as they are made. You can easily prepare the ingredients the day before but I don’t recommend leaving them in your fridge ready to go in the oven overnight. I wish things were different. Regardless I hope you give these a try. We love them around here! All the best to you. Karin
