Can kasha varnishkes be made ahead?

I am cooking for the holiday and wondering if Kasha Varnishkes can be made ahead of time and if so, what is the best way to reheat?

Yes, and have done it many times.
Washington Post recommends adding half a cup of chicken broth or water to the cooked kasha varnishkes, warming half an hour in a 325F oven, covered with a pot lid or foil,
Other options - microwave, rice cooker or instant pot. Timings per your machine settings, or start slow and check intermittently.
Possible - stovetop in a covered saucepan, again with some liquid added, over medium heat. But this would require more attention and repeated stirring to make sure it doesn't stick or burn.
Enjoy!
