Storing Tips

Refrigerator

This vegan souffle can be assembled the night before, covered with foil and refrigerated until it is ready to bake. Leave out and let it get to room temperature, or add 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Freezer

The baked souffle can be frozen for up to 3 months. Be sure to let it cool completely before freezing and let it thaw completely before reheating.

I recommend topping it with fresh topping before reheating and covering with foil to avoid burning the topping. 15-20 minutes in an oven at 300 degrees should heat it all the way through.

What to serve with vegan souffle with sweet potatoes

This dish would be delicious served alongside Tofu Turkey, Smothered Vegan Fried Chicken, or Vegan Lentil Loaf!
