🌡️Storage
Ideally, you'll want to make this recipe just prior to serving. However, you can make this recipe and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. You can put the sandwiches together, but if possible, it's best to keep the ingredients separate when storing.
If you want to store it longer, wrap it freezer wrap, put in a ziplock freezer bag and store it in the freezer for up to 3 months. *Do NOT melt the cheese in the oven or microwave prior to freezing (do this when you reheat it). Hi
🦺Food safety
- Don't leave food sitting out at room temperature for extended periods

💭Top tips
When you melt the cheese, you can melt it in the oven, or in the microwave. You want to use a thick piece of cheese (use 2 or 3 pieces to achieve thickness if you are using pre sliced cheddar cheese) and melt it very slightly or it will lose its shape (1 minute in the oven and 10 seconds in the microwave - max!)
Cut the English muffins into pumpkin shapes before you toast them!
