Description
Delightful baked mac and cheese cups that combine cheesy goodness in a portable, bite-sized format.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup uncooked macaroni pasta (125 grams)
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup 1% milk
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon sriracha sauce (optional)
- 2½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Cook the macaroni for 5 minutes, just until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease eight muffin cups.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, salt, and sriracha until combined.
- Add the drained macaroni and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture, stirring until everything is well-coated and evenly mixed.
- Spoon the mixture evenly into the muffin cups, avoiding overflow.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and set.
- Let them rest for about 5-10 minutes, then remove carefully from the muffin cups.
