For breakfasts later in the week, refrigerate only the portions you will eat within 3–4 days. Freeze the rest promptly after chilling, wrapped individually, for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight; reheat covered in a 350°F oven or microwave in intervals until the center reaches 165°F.
Refrigerate leftovers in shallow containers within 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F); use within 3–4 days. Reheat the center to 165°F.
