Decadent Brie Macaroni & Cheese En Croute image

Ooh la la is right... these are so good! They're buttery, flaky pillows of warm gooey cheese goodness. The mac and cheese itself is rich and decadent. The buttery crust tastes almost sweet next to the savory mac and cheese. These are very filling. Great for a brunch or a light dinner with a salad.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 c olive oil
2/3 c all-purpose flour
2 c chicken broth, heated
1 c whole milk

2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
24 oz elbow macaroni prepared al dente
16 oz brie, rind removed and cut into pieces
16 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
12 6x9 inch portions ready to bake puff pastry
2 eggs

Steps:

  • 1. To make the mac & cheese you first start with a roux. In a large non-stick pot heat the olive oil at medium high heat then add flour and heat until bubbly, continue to cook like this for two minutes.
  • 2. Add the heated chicken broth all at once and whisk, continue whisking while simmering for 2 or 3 minutes.

  • 7. Spread the mac & cheese into a greased 13x9 inch pan and refrigerate until firm.
  • 8. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and prepare a large baking sheet with parchment.
  • 9. When the mac & cheese is firm divide into 12 portions.
  • 10. In a small bowl thoroughly combine the eggs and 2 tablespoons of milk, this will be used to seal the puff pastry.
  • 11. The build: On a lightly floured surface lay down a sheet of puff pastry 6x9 inch. Center a portion of the mac & cheese on the pastry.
  • 12. Fold the longest part of the pastry to meet at the top of the mac & cheese, wet your fingers with the egg wash and seal the bottom flap, it will overlap by about an inch.
  • 13. At the unsealed sides of the puff pastry wrap like a gift.
  • 14. Seal with the egg wash.
