Reddit mac and cheese make ahead2/18/2022 Once you’ve got your pasta cooked, sauce made, and topping ready, you’ll assemble and then either bake or pop it in the fridge or freezer. The breadcrumb topping is what takes this mac and cheese to the next level. Top off this wonderful macaroni and cheese with buttery, garlicky, herby breadcrumbs. You won’t get heat from it, just a nice warm flavor in the background. Cayenne pepper is a recent flavor discovery for me used in small amounts it can really enhance sauces and soups. My two favorites are Dijon mustard and cayenne pepper.ĭijon mustard goes so well with cheese and adds great flavor, but isn’t overpowering. I’ve learned that the cheese should be the star and the only added flavors should be those that enhance the cheese. I have played around with different flavorings for my macaroni and cheese, from onions to different herbs and spices. One egg is perfect here as it provides the perfect custard-y texture without being too stiff. Too much flour gives an odd mouth feel and texture, so I don’t like to use more than I have to. It acts a binder, but also thickens up the sauce slightly so that you don’t have to use too much flour. The egg is a very important component of baked macaroni and cheese. This wonderful cheese combined with good quality, sharp cheddar creates an amazingly flavorful, silky sauce. I chose a mild Havarti, which is a semi soft, buttery cheese that melts beautifully.
