Notes

Storage Tips
- Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: Warm in a preheated 350°F oven for 5–7 minutes to regain crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it can make the wrappers soggy.
- Freezing: Assemble but do not bake, then freeze on a baking sheet. Transfer to a freezer bag and store for up to 2 months. Bake straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
