Notes
- Storing and Reheating Leftovers
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, bake the spoon bread in an oven preheated to 350°F for 5 minutes or until warm. The second best (but easier) method is to warm leftovers in the microwave in a covered dish for 45-60 seconds, or until warm.
