Southern Mac and Cheese

Homemade mac and cheese is often prepared with a flour-based sauce. This Southern version uses a base of eggs and half cream and half milk for a tasty, custardy alternative. You can also bake the mac and cheese in a shallow 1 1/2- to 2-quart baking dish. Increase the baking time to 25 to 30 minutes.

Ingredients :
  • ground pepper
  • Coarse salt
  • 2 slices white sandwich bread, torn
  • 1 cup half cream half milk
  • 1 clove small garlic
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp. butter, melted
Directions :
  1. Set a large pot of salted water to boil. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter four 10-ounce ramekins. Cook pasta 3 minutes short of al dente; drain.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups cheddar, eggs, half cream half milk, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add pasta, and stir to combine; divide among ramekins.
  3. In a food processor, pulse bread and melted butter until coarse crumbs form; season with salt and pepper. Dividing evenly, top pasta mixture with 1/2 cup cheddar, then sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
  4. Place ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until mac and cheese is golden and bubbling, about 20 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
