To prepare, preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the packaging, typically around 375-400°F (190-200°C). Arrange the frozen slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for the recommended time, usually 8-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is heated through. For a crispier texture, you can broil it for the last minute, watching carefully to prevent burning. It can also be prepared in a toaster oven following similar guidelines.
