Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftover fruit in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Fried eggs are best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.

Reheat the eggs gently in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave for a few seconds.

Store toast separately at room temperature in an airtight container and re-toast before serving.

For the best flavor and texture, assemble the plate just before eating.
