What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Elevated Edibles: Bacon and Egg Mac’n Cheese! Grab onto your seat because this dish is going to leave you shouting to the rooftops like a kid on a tire swing. Remember how everyone in the neighborhood would congregate around the sturdy oak, count to three, and then pile on the tire like a bunch of monkeys? The biggest guy was always left behind to spin it around like a giant top before grabbing the rope and jumping aboard. The peals of laughter echoed around the block and seemed to go on forever. It’s a wonder the branch didn’t break, or worse.
BACON AND EGG MAC ‘N CHEESE
Ingredients:
1 cup bow tie pasta
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup skim milk
1/3 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
3 slices American cheese
1/4 cup feta cheese
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
4 strips precooked bacon, crumbled
2 tablespoons red peppers, chopped
2 tablespoons panko bread crumbs
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 eggs, fried according to preference
2 green onions, snipped
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Spray 2 individual casserole pans with nonstick oil. Set aside. Cook pasta in salted water, according to package directions. Drain and set aside. In a medium saucepan, warm the butter over medium-low heat. Add the drained pasta and skim milk. Stir. Add cheddar cheese, American cheese, feta cheese, and parmesan cheese. Stir occasionally until completely melted. Fold in crumbled bacon and chopped red peppers. Divide between the two casserole pans. In a small dish, combine panko seasoned bread crumbs and olive oil. Stir to moisten. Sprinkle over top. Bake for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, fry the eggs, according to preference. Remove the casserole pans from the oven. Place one fried egg on top of each. Garnish with chopped green onions. Serve immediately.

This sounds very hearty. I think I had something similar while cycling near Montreal several years ago.

This looks so delicious. I make many versions of mac-n-cheese, but never served it with sunny side egg on top. Love the idea! 🙂
