Voilà!

Drizzle some buffalo sauce on top after baking for an extra zing. ## Storing and Reheating ### Storing: Keep leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for up to a month. ### Reheating: Warm them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes. You can also microwave them for about 15-20 seconds, but I don’t recommend it; they won’t be as crispy. ## Leftover Ideas You can whip up a quick breakfast by making biscuit sandwiches. Pop some eggs and cheese between two biscuits for a delightful morning treat that will start your day off right!
