REHEATING INSTRUCTIONS: To reheat, place the leftovers in a small microwave dish and warm in 30-40 second increments until fully heated through. (pro-tip: if you have an air fryer, you can put the leftover poppyseed casserole in an oven safe baking dish that fits in your basket and cook for 5-7 minutes at 350 degrees F until warmed through. This is a great way to make cracker topping crispy again!)
