• In a large sauce pan, heat the egg and begin melting the cubed cheese.
• Stir constantly!
• Slowly add the cubed cheese and evaporated milk, until all the cubed cheese is melted and desired consistency is reached. (I usually don't use the whole can of milk, but if you like it creamier, feel free!).

• Cover the dish with the remaining sliced cheese.
• Broil for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted, bubbly & brownish.

Turn the heat up to medium and cook until the mixture is almost simmering, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the Cheddar, Jack cheese, ricotta cheese, salt, mustard and cayenne pepper. Pour cheese mixture over the macaroni and stir to combine. Transfer the macaroni and cheese to the baking dish.
• Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan and oil in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the top of the macaroni and cheese. Bake for 20 minutes. Then broil for 3 minutes so the top is crisp and nicely browned.
