Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 1 as needed cooking spray or butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or butter and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to create a roux and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is light golden brown.
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until it thickens to a smooth sauce (about 5 minutes).
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated parmesan cheese until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked noodles and the cheese sauce. Mix until the noodles are fully coated.
In a separate small bowl, beat the eggs. Slowly add the beaten eggs to the noodle mixture, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
Pour the noodle mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle paprika over the top as an optional garnish for added color.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the pie is set.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
Slice into portions and serve warm. Enjoy your Cheese and Noodle Pie!
