Join the discussionHi there, do you have to defrost first or is it cook from frozen?
Thank you
Yes, you will want to thaw in fridge before putting in the oven. Enjoy!
Thanks very much for the reply.
It’s our pleasure! If you have more questions, we’re always happy to chat in the bottom right-hand corner!
We like this recipe. It has a very different taste. It could easily be adapted to vegan by omitting the little bit of cheese it has in there.
Thanks Lisa, so glad you like this recipe! Thanks for sharing that adaption to make it vegan!
Hi,
This sounds great but I’m wondering about air getting trapped int he 8×8 dish. Is that ever an issue with this? (I wouldn’t be able to squeeze it out like I would a plastic freezer bag)
Thanks!
It shouldn’t be a problem. Vacuum sealing does eliminate freezer burn and preserve quality the best, but we have no issues using freezer bags without vacuum sealing on a regular basis. More important for freezer burn than removing the air is that you are making sure that everything is completely cool before freezing, as it’s trapped WARM air in particular that causes freezer burn.
