Zubereitung von 21St Century Macaroni And Cheese
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Butter a shallow 1 1/2-quart baking dish. Add the cooked pasta.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the egg, milk, and garlic. Blend for 3 seconds.
- Add the onion, cheddar cheese, Gruyere cheese, roasted red peppers, salt, and paprika. Blend for about 10 seconds until smooth.
- Pour the cheese sauce over the pasta in the baking dish and gently fold to combine.
- At this point, the casserole can be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to 24 hours. If refrigerating, bring to room temperature before baking.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan.
- Add the crushed crackers to the melted butter and toss to coat evenly.
- Spread the buttered cracker crumbs evenly over the top of the macaroni and cheese.
