Notes

Storing Leftovers
Leftover blueberry cobbler should be stored in the refrigerator. If baked in a cast iron skillet, carefully transfer the cobbler to an airtight container. If baked in a baking dish, tightly wrap the baking dish in plastic wrap followed by foil (to minimize the amount of moisture). Blueberry cobbler should be eaten within 2 to 3 days from when it was baked.
Freezing
If freezing the cobbler, bake in a baking dish (and not a skillet) for easy reheat. To freeze, allow the cobbler to cool completely, then tightly wrap the baking dish in plastic wrap followed by foil. Store in the freeze for up to 1 month. To reheat, preheat oven to 350˚F. Unwrap cobbler and bake (fully frozen) for 20 to 25 minutes or until the cobbler has thawed and heated through.
The biscuit topping on the cobbler will be slightly soggy once reheated (nothing beats enjoying blueberry cobbler fresh!), but still delicious.
