Notes

Storage : This recipe is best served right away while it’s still warm. However, if you have leftovers, you can cover them with a lid or transfer them to an airtight container. They will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 3 days. I recommend eating any leftovers cold as they’re likely to become rubbery if reheated.
