Simply open the package and add the slices directly to your cooking. They are perfect for scattering over a pizza before baking, where they will crisp up slightly.

Their pre-sliced format makes them incredibly easy to incorporate into any meal without any preparation needed.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best to consume them within the recommended timeframe on the packaging to maintain freshness and quality. Proper sealing will help prevent them from drying out.
