Mac & Cheese Bites Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Cook the Macaroni

   Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   Make the Cheese Sauce

   In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Stir in the cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.

3. 3

   Combine Macaroni and Cheese Sauce

   Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and mix until well combined. Allow to cool for about 30 minutes.

4. 4

   Shape the Bites

   Once cooled, form the macaroni and cheese mixture into small balls or bites. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

5. 5

   Prepare for Frying

   Beat the eggs in a bowl. Place the breadcrumbs in another bowl. Dip each mac and cheese bite into the eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs.

6. 6

   Fry the Bites

   Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot over medium heat. Fry the bites in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
