Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups elbow macaroni
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the macaroni according to the package instructions until just al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and flour until smooth. Add the baking powder, salt, and black pepper, and mix well.
Stir in 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, the mozzarella cheese, and the Parmesan cheese into the wet ingredients. Mix until combined.
Add the cooked macaroni to the bowl and gently stir to evenly coat the pasta with the mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of cheddar cheese over the top and, if desired, dust with a bit of paprika for color and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the middle should come out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your delicious Impossible Macaroni and Cheese Pie!
