What’s the best way to store leftovers?

Once the casserole has cooled, I transfer it to an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to four days. When reheating, I prefer using the oven to keep the texture of the cheese intact, though the microwave works fine for a quick lunch.

What can I serve with this casserole?

I usually pair it with a simple green salad or roasted vegetables to keep things light. If you’re not strictly keto, it also goes wonderfully with a side of cauliflower rice or low-carb tortillas.
