Just be sure to thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

When reheating, add a splash of milk or cream to restore the creamy texture. Heat it slowly over low heat on the stove, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. This ensures that every bite remains deliciously cheesy and flavorful.
