Once the casserole is baked, allow it to rest for several minutes before scooping. This brief cooling period helps the creamy base thicken slightly, making each portion easier to lift without losing its shape. Serve warm, either as a main dish or a substantial side.
Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently, maintaining much of the dish’s original creaminess. Avoid overheating during reheating to keep the cheese from becoming oily. The casserole also holds up well for make-ahead preparation; simply assemble the dish, cover tightly, and refrigerate until ready to bake.
