Ingredients
Method
Start cooking opens one step at a time with read-aloud and hands-free voice control — “next”, “repeat”, “how much salt”, “timer 10 minutes”.
Tips
Evaporated milk and the eggs are what make it sliceable rather than saucy — the Southern way. Grate your own cheese; pre-grated has anti-caking starch that turns the sauce grainy.
