Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Gluten-free macaroni
- 60 grams Butter
- 50 grams Gluten-free flour
- 500 milliliters Whole milk
- 250 grams Sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, ground
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 large Eggs
- 50 grams Gluten-free breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free macaroni and cook until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Sprinkle in the gluten-free flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes until you have a smooth roux.
Gradually pour the whole milk into the saucepan, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue to cook and stir for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the sharp cheddar and Parmesan cheese until completely melted and smooth.
Season the cheese sauce with salt, black pepper, and paprika, adjusting to taste.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni with the cheese sauce, ensuring every piece of pasta is coated.
In a separate small bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then stir them into the macaroni mixture until well combined.
Transfer the macaroni and cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the gluten-free breadcrumbs on top to create a crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free macaroni pie!
