Cooking mode Prevents your screen from going to sleep

A good casserole dish really makes a difference in this recipe. Porcelain conducts heat evenly, so your cheese sauce warms through nicely and the top turns golden without the bottom burning. This way you give the dish the attention it deserves.

Want the truffle flavor to be a bit more subtle? Use a little less truffle oil and skip the truffle paste. Prefer a big truffle hit? Grate a bit of fresh truffle over the dish just before serving. Tasting and adjusting—that's the most fun part of this recipe.
