OVEN BAKED BREADED MACARONI AND CHEESE BITES

Steps:

• Start with our Mac and Cheese recipe.
• Make sure that your leftover mac n cheese is nice and cold and set up (refrigerated for at least 12 hours). If needed, you can also freeze the macaroni just a bit before portioning out to coat with breading.
• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C) and line a baking sheet (or two) with parchment paper. Use 1 Tbsp of the olive oil and a basting brush to coat the parchment paper lined baking sheet(s).
• In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. Use a second bowl for the all-purpose flour and then a third small bowl to combine the breading ingredients: crushed Italian seasoned croutons, Italian seasoned Panko, and Parmesan cheese.
• Using a table spoon, portion out large (approximately 1- 1 1/2 inch) chunks of the leftover macaroni and cheese. Quickly roll in your palms to shape into a rough ball shape, then dip into the flour, then the egg mixture, and next into the breading mixture. Coat thoroughly and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Repeat until all of your macaroni and cheese has been breaded.
• Bake at 425 degrees F (218 degrees C) for about 10-12 minutes, then use the second Tbsp of olive oil to brush over the baking sheet. Roll the breaded macaroni and cheese balls to bake the opposite side for an additional 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Slowly whisk in 1 cup of the milk and then whisk in the remaining 1 cup milk. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Add the cheese and stir until it melts. Add the drained macaroni to the cheese sauce and mix thoroughly.

BAKED MACARONI & CHEESE BALLS RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Make sure leftover macaroni and cheese is really cold. I suggest putting it in the freezer for about 20 minutes before preparing. While the macaroni and cheese is chilling in the freezer, get out three bowls. Add flour to one bowl, the egg to another, and the breadcrumbs to the remaining bowl. Whisk the egg slightly to break it up. Season the flour with salt and pepper to taste. Preheat oven to 425°F. Prepare a cookie sheet by lining it with aluminum foil . Drizzle one tablespoon of olive oil on aluminum foil and spread around to coat the foil evenly. When macaroni is chilled, remove from freezer. Scoop a tablespoon amount of macaroni and cheese and roll it around in your hands to make sure the ball is tightly packed. You want each ball to be uniform in size, about 1 or 1.5 inches in diameter. Roll each ball through the flour, then the egg, and lastly the breadcrumbs. Place on prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove cookie sheet from oven, flip the macaroni balls over, and bake another 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm with various condiments and dipping sauces.
