How to Store and Reheat Blueberry Cobbler

Let the blueberry cobbler cool completely at room temperature before storing it. This helps prevent condensation and maintains the texture of the cobbler.

Select an airtight container or a baking dish with a tight-fitting lid that is large enough to accommodate the cobbler without squishing it.
Carefully transfer the blueberry cobbler into the chosen container, ensuring that it fits snugly without being overcrowded.
Seal the container tightly with its lid or cover it securely with plastic wrap. Then, place the blueberry cobbler in the refrigerator. It can be stored in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
When you’re ready to enjoy the cobbler, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the cobbler from the refrigerator and uncover it.
Place the uncovered blueberry cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until it is heated through. The exact time may vary based on the size and thickness of the cobbler.
To ensure that the cobbler is properly reheated, check the center with a toothpick or a knife. It should come out warm, and the fruit filling should be bubbling slightly.

If you prefer an alternative reheating method, you can also use a microwave. However, using the oven will help retain the texture and crispness of the cobbler’s topping better.
