MAC AND CHEESE IN PUFF PASTRY

Steps:

• 1. Make your mac and cheese like you normally would. Allow it to cool and "set-or firm up". Here is the link to Samantha Jacobs Mac and Cheese that is my GO-TO recipe. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/pasta/ooey-gooey-mac-and-cheese-2.html
• 2. Preheat oven to 400F.
• 3. Thaw the puff pastry dough. Lightly flour a board and lightly roll dough. Cut into 4 sections (or more if you want little bite-sized appetizer pieces).
• 4. Beat the egg in a little dish. This is your "glue" that will hold the dough together.
• 5. Cut a section of your mac and cheese and place on top of the puff pastry section. (I'm guessing I used a little more than 1/4 cup).
• 6. Brush egg wash around all sides of the puff pastry and fold each side up to meet. Pinch together, turn over and put "pretty side" up (seam sides down). Brush the top with egg wash.
• 7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and slightly crispy-flaky.
• 8. Serve immediately with a light salad or a veggie garnish.

MACARONI-CHEESE PUFF

Steps:

• 1. In a medium saucepan, cook macaroni according to package directions; drain and set aside.
• 2. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the milk, cheese, and butter. Cook and stir over low heat until cheese is melted. Remove from heat.
• 3. In a small mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with a rotary beater. Stir about 1/2 cup of the hot cheese mixture into the egg yolks. Pour egg yolk mixture into remaining cheese mixture in saucepan, stirring to combine. Add the drained macaroni, bread crumbs, pimiento, parsley, and onion. Set aside.
• 4. In a medium mixing bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar with an electric mixer on medium to high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold beaten egg whites into macaroni mixture. Pour mixture into six ungreased 1-cup souffle dishes or an ungreased 2-quart souffle dish.
• 5. Bake in a preheated 325-degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes for 1-cup souffle dishes or about 45 minutes for 2-qt. souffle dish, or until puffed and browned. Serve immediately.

BEST EVER MACARONI CHEESE RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Spread the baguette chunks over a baking sheet, drizzle with the melted butter and season. Bake for 6 mins until crisp, then set aside.
• Boil the pasta for 2 mins less than stated on the pack, then drain. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the garlic and English mustard powder, cook for 1 min, then stir in the plain flour.
• Cook for 1 min more, then gradually whisk in the milk until you have a lump-free sauce. Simmer for 5 mins, whisking all the time until thickened. Take off the heat, then stir in the cheddar and half the parmesan.
• Stir the pasta and some seasoning into the cheesy sauce. Tip into a large ovenproof dish, or four individual dishes.
• Scatter over the bread and the remaining parmesan, then bake for 20 mins until crisp and golden. Can be frozen before baking - defrost thoroughly before cooking.

MAC 'N' CHEESEBALLS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Crush cheese puffs into a fine powder and set aside.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, add the butter. Once the butter is melted, add milk, cheddar, mozzarella, and cream cheese. Whisk until all the cheese has melted and sauce is smooth.
• Pour cheese sauce over cooked pasta, stirring to ensure thorough coverage of the noodles.
• Cover and refrigerate the cheese-coated pasta for at least 2 hours, allowing for it to cool completely and for the cheese sauce to bind the pasta together. This recipe also works well with leftover mac 'n' cheese.
• Using your hands, take the chilled mac 'n' cheese and form it into 1-inch (2 ½ cm) balls.
• Dredge the balls in flour, followed by egg before finally coating them in the powdered cheese puffs.
• Heat the oil to 350˚F (180˚C) and fry the mac 'n' cheese balls until the outside is crispy, about 2 minutes. Once done frying, transfer to a wire rack to drain. Lightly sprinkle with salt before serving.
• Enjoy!
