Whether you serve them as children's finger food or cocktail-party nibbles, these miniature mac-and-cheese cupcakes are downright adorable. They're so easy to fix the kids can help you with most of the work, too. In my tests, the panko crust worked only for the miniature cupcakes. When I tried it with regular-size muffin tins, the cupcakes got stuck. If you must use a regular-size muffin tin, skip the panko and use cupcake liners. From and Meghan Pembleton. Ingredients:
8 ounces elbow macaroni |
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese |
salt and pepper, to taste |
1 cup milk (any type) |
2 large eggs |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Cook pasta according to package directions.
3. Meanwhile, prepare pans:
4. Either line a muffin tin with 12 paper or foil cupcake liners, or grease mini muffin pans (enough for 24 mini cupcakes) with butter and sprinkle with panko crumbs, dumping out excess crumbs.
5. When pasta is done, drain and return to pot.
6. Stir in shredded cheese until melted.
7. Season with salt and pepper.
8. Beat eggs and milk together in a medium bowl; stir into pasta.
9. Spoon mixture into prepared muffin cups.
10. Bake 20 minutes for full-size cupcakes; 15 minutes for mini cupcakes.
