Expert Tips for Serving and Storage
✔ Best When Fresh – These pizza chips are at their crispiest when eaten right out of the oven. Let them cool slightly for the perfect crunch!
✔ Reheating Tips – If they soften over time, reheat in an air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 2-3 minutes or in a toaster oven for a quick crisp. Avoid microwaving, as it can make them chewy.
✔ Storage – Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you prefer long-term storage, refrigerate them for up to a week and reheat before serving.
✔ Make-Ahead Tip – You can prepare cheese mounds ahead of time, refrigerate them on a baking sheet, and bake when ready.
