Baked Mac and Cheese Cups

Ingredients

• 1 cup uncooked macaroni pasta ((125 grams))
• 1 large egg
• ¾ cup 1% milk
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon sriracha sauce ((optional))
• 2½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. 1

   In a medium pot over medium high heat, cook macaroni in boiling, salted water for 5 minutes or just until al dente (don't overcook!). Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

2. 2

   Preheat oven to 375℉ and lightly grease 8 muffin cups (or use a silicone muffin pan, no greasing needed).

3. 3

   In a large bowl, whisk together egg, milk, salt and sriracha if using. Stir in cooked macaroni and shredded cheese.

4. 4

   Divide evenly between 8 muffin cups and bake for 20-22 minutes, until golden brown on top and completely set. Let sit for 5-10 minutes before running a knife carefully around the edge of the cup and removing. Serve.
