MACARONI-CHEESE PUFF



Macaroni-Cheese Puff image

This is for the Zzar World Tour - Floozies - in the French category. Since it's baked in a souffle dish, it might fit this category. I tried it the first time June 23, 1987, and it's from the Better Homes and Gardens Calorie Counters Cookbook. I have yet to remember to time any of my recipes so preparation and cooking times are estimates.

Tips:

  • Use quality macaroni noodles. The type of macaroni you use will impact the overall flavor and texture of your macaroni and cheese puffs. Look for high-quality macaroni noodles that are made with durum wheat semolina flour. These noodles will hold their shape better and won't get mushy when they're cooked.
  • Cook the macaroni to al dente. Don't overcook the macaroni, or it will become too soft and mushy. Cook the macaroni according to the package directions, but err on the side of undercooking it.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will also impact the flavor of your macaroni and cheese puffs. Use a good quality cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan.
  • Season the macaroni and cheese mixture well. Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt, pepper, and other seasonings to the macaroni and cheese mixture. This will help to enhance the flavor of the puffs.
  • Use a muffin tin. A muffin tin is the best way to shape your macaroni and cheese puffs. This will help to ensure that they are all uniform in size and shape.
  • Bake the macaroni and cheese puffs until they are golden brown. The macaroni and cheese puffs should be baked until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. This will help to ensure that they are cooked all the way through.
