Yes. Cool completely, stack between parchment paper, and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven at 350°F for 2 to 3 minutes until the edges crisp up again, or use a regular toaster on medium setting for 1 to 2 minutes.

Absolutely. Cool completely, lay them flat on a baking sheet, freeze for 2 hours, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 1 month. Toast directly from frozen in a toaster oven at 375°F for 3 to 4 minutes until hot and crispy.

Shredded cheddar is the classic choice, but mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or a blend work well too. Avoid pre-shredded cheese with anti-caking powder if possible—freshly grated melts more evenly, though shredded is still fine.
