Store slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, place a slice on a plate and microwave for 30-60 seconds, or warm it in a 325°F oven for 10 minutes. For longer storage, wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 2 months.
