Baked macaroni and brie recipe
Recipe ingredients:
- 8 ounces dry pasta
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 7 ounces brie, rind removed, about 6 ounce without rind, cut into chunks
- Salt and freshly-ground pepper
- 1/2 cup cracker or fresh bread crumbs
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
Recipe method:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a medium casserole dish or 4 individual 2-cup dishes and set aside.
- Boil pasta to al dente. Drain. While pasta cooks, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Sprinkle in flour and cook, stirring continuously for 2 minutes, to form a golden brown roux.
- Stir in milk and cream. Bring to a boil, stirring continuously, then reduce heat to low.
- Add cheese and continue to stir until melted and smooth. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss in drained pasta. Combine very well, making sure the sauce soaks the pasta thoroughly. Pour into buttered dishes.
- Stir together bread or cracker crumbs with 3 tablespoons melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over dishes. Bake 15 minutes.
