Description
Indulge in our decadent Brie Mac and Cheese the ultimate comfort dish that blends creamy brie with classic mac for an irresistible treat
Ingredients
Scale
8 ounces elbow macaroni or your favorite pasta
2 cups shredded brie cheese (rind removed)
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Begin by boiling a pot of salted water. Once boiling, add your elbow macaroni and cook until al dente, typically about 6-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add flour and whisk continuously for about 1 minute until combined. Gradually pour in milk, continuing to whisk until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, about 4-5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the brie and cheddar cheese until melted. Add Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper, mixing well for a flavorful kick.
Incorporate the drained pasta into the cheese sauce, stirring to coat all the macaroni evenly.
If you prefer a crunchy topping, transfer the mac and cheese to a greased baking dish, sprinkle breadcrumbs over it, and pop it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until golden.
Once your Brie Mac and Cheese is hot and bubbly, it’s ready to be served! Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and additional flavor.
