  4. Add the flour to the melted butter and blend well to create a roux.
  5. Gradually stir in the milk, continuing to cook and stir constantly until the mixture thickens into a smooth sauce.
  6. Add the paprika and remaining salt to the sauce.
  7. Stir in the cut cheese pieces and cook gently until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
  8. Pour the cheese sauce over the noodles in the mold and mix gently to combine.

Note

Ensure the noodles are well-drained to prevent the sauce from becoming watery.

For easier unmolding, grease the ring mold generously with butter or use parchment paper.

You can substitute Swiss cheese with Gruyère or Gouda for a different flavor profile.

If the mixture seems too loose after adding eggs, bake for an additional 5-10 minutes.

Let the ring cool for 5-10 minutes before attempting to remove it from the mold.
