Can Jalapeno Cheddar Corn Bread be Froze
Yes! Allow the corn bread to fully cool and then wrap in plastic wrap or place in an air tight container or Ziploc bag. I recommend freezing the bread in a whole piece but you can also freeze individual slices. Lasts in the freezer up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and then reheat in the oven for 5-10 min at 350F.
