What each ingredient does

Cheese
Melts into a smooth, flowing texture when heated, forming the body of the dish.

The step that matters

Melting the cheese in the oven. Cheese proteins and fats separate and turn greasy or rubbery when overheated, so the cheese should be watched and removed once it is fully melted and still smooth.
