Try out these crispy baked mac n cheese bites for a mouthwatering twist on a classic favorite! These cheesy bites are perfect for snacking or as a side dish.
Ingredients
2 cups cooked macaroni pasta
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 cup bread crumbs
Salt and pepper to taste
Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
1. Prepare the Cheese Sauce:
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the flour and whisk constantly for about 2 minutes, creating a roux.
Gradually add the milk, continuing to whisk until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken.
Remove from heat and stir in the Cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese until fully melted and combined.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Combine with Pasta:
In a large bowl, combine the cooked macaroni with the cheese sauce, ensuring the pasta is well coated.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then stir in the beaten egg to help bind the mixture.
3. Form the Bites:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
Using a spoon, fill each muffin cup with the macaroni and cheese mixture, pressing down slightly to compact.
4. Add Bread Crumb Topping:
Sprinkle a small amount of bread crumbs on top of each mac and cheese bite for a crunchy topping.
5. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and crispy on top.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before carefully removing from the muffin tin.
6. Serve:
Serve warm, optionally with a side of marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
