Storage and Reheating Instructions
- Allow the crostini to cool completely, then store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-5 days. To reheat, bake at 350°Fahrenheit (175°Celsius) for about 5 minutes. For longer storage, freeze in a single layer and reheat directly from frozen.
