Instructions
Noodles
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the shortening, salt, and noodles. Stir occasionally and cook until tender. Drain the noodles in a colander.
Cheese Sauce
While the noodles cook, pour the milk into a saucepan and heat over medium heat.
Cheese Sauce
Cut the cheeses into squares and add them to the milk. Stir frequently while the cheese melts to prevent sticking.
Cheese Sauce
After the cheese has melted, add the raw eggs after scrambling them.
Putting It All Together
Add the cheese sauce to the cooked noodles. Stir until evenly combined, then lightly sprinkle with paprika.
Putting It All Together
Pour the mixture into a glass oven-safe pan. Bake at 325°F until the cheese is golden brown, about 20–30 minutes. Check often to prevent overcooking.
