Storage and Reheating Notes
How to Store Your Viral Waffle House Sandwich
To store leftovers, wrap each sandwich individually in aluminum foil or plastic wrap, ensuring all the components are covered. Place the wrapped sandwiches in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
REHEATING INSTRUCTIONS:
To preserve the integrity of the waffle and avoid a soggy mess, we recommend reheating your sandwich in an oven or toaster oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and place the sandwich on a baking sheet. Heat for 10-15 minutes or until warmed through and the waffle is crispy again.
For a quick fix, you can also use the microwave, but be aware that this method may result in a softer waffle. Place the sandwich on a microwave-safe plate and heat for 1-2 minutes or until heated through.
