How to Reheat Breakfast Casseroles
- 1). Wash your hands with soap and warm water for at least 30 seconds. You will be touching your food to test its warmth, so you want to make sure your hands are clean.
- 2). Scoop a serving or two of your casserole onto a microwave-safe plate and place in the microwave. Set your microwave on 45 seconds. After time is up, test the warmth of the casserole with your fingers. Place in the microwave for another 45 seconds. Repeat until the casserole is adequately warm.
- 3). Place the remaining breakfast casserole in an oven-safe, glass casserole dish, allow it to reach room temperature and "flash" it. Flashing is a cooking technique that chefs use to "reheat room temperature or slightly warm food in a very hot oven for a short period of time. This enables food to reach its desired temperature while preventing further cooking," writes chef Lauren Braun Costello on CD Kitchen's website.
To "flash" your casserole, set your oven between 425 to 475 degrees F and allow it to heat up for about 10 minutes. Then, slip in your casserole dish and allow it to heat for about two to five minutes, depending how much casserole you have left.
