Three-Cheese Mini Macs

Tuesday, 24 Feb 2009

These tiny individual mac and cheese bites from Food and Wine, made in a mini-muffin tin, are great party food.  Here’s the recipe: Three-Cheese Mini Macs.

roux

You start out with a nice roux that you melt the cheese into.  The mini-macs turn out very rich and creamy with the roux base, three cheeses and the added egg yolk.  However, I made a few additions to spice things up a little.  I chopped six scallions and sauteed them and added them to the cheese mix.  I also added generous dashes of cayenne and paprika.  These seasonings give the mini macs a little something extra in terms of flavor beyond cheese.

The other change I made was to use “large rings” pasta shapes instead of elbow macaroni, because it’s what I had.  These are actually very tiny pasta shapes despite the name, and I thought they held up to the cheese mixture just fine and worked because the mini-muffin pan makes such small bite-sized servings.

Brushing the muffin cups with butter absolutely keeps the macs from sticking, even though there’s shredded cheese in the bottom of each cup.  The cheese makes a nice crisp edge and topping surrounding the soft, creamy center.   I made a couple batches in the same muffin tin and did not have to re-butter it after the first time.

I made these mini macs to test them out for an upcoming party and they definitely made the grade!  They’re also extremely fast and easy to make, and can be prepped ahead of time (put into the muffin tin) and then baked right before guests arrive.

    The jobs by which employees declare to be happiest are far less glamorous, however most pay a decent wage.
    When you think the jobs that pay essentially the most are also the most fun, perhaps you
    must talk to somebody in one of those professions.
    Together with your stopwatch ready, have your little one hold one merchandise at the top of the slide and
    launch it on your sign. Planning fun family actions could be difficult, mainly because one particular
    person’s idea of a superb time is another individual’s dreaded deed.

    It is nearly a rite of passage to hand over the concept a grown-up job
