Be careful because the mush can spaltter if an air bubble escapes to the top of the mixture.This will need to be cooked until it's a thick consistency. Until it doesn't readily fall off the spoon and needs to be spooned from the pan.Spoon mixture into a small bowl or pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Spread out evenly.Refrigerate at least until cool or overnight.Remove from bowl or pan. Slice 1/4-1/2" thick. The thinner the slice, the crispier it will be.
