Serving suggestions
Serve after the cooking and resting steps in the card. Portion the base and any listed toppings evenly; additional milk, fruit, or spreads change the meal’s nutrition.
Storage and make-ahead
Refrigerate perishable portions in shallow, covered containers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Keep the refrigerator at 40°F or below and use cooked leftovers within 3–4 days. If reheating cooked leftovers, heat them to 165°F throughout.

How should I use the calories and macros?
The card lists estimates for its stated serving size. Use the listed ingredients and portions as the basis; changing brands, substitutions, toppings, or sides can change the values.
