MAC AND CHEESE BITES

Steps:

• Grease a nonstick mini muffin pan very well with butter or nonstick cooking spray. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat, then cook the pasta for 2 minutes less than the package says. My elbow macaroni said to cook for 7 minutes, so I drained it after 5.
• After you've cooked and drained the pasta, return the empty pasta pot to the heat and turn the heat down to medium. Melt the butter and add the paprika. Add the flour and stir the mixture around for 2 minutes. While whisking, add the milk. The mixture will be very thick, but that's intentional. Just make sure you have stirred out any lumps. Remove the pot from the heat and add the cheeses and drained pasta, stirring it all together until the cheese and sauce are well distributed.
• Portion your mac and cheese into the muffin cups, either with a spoon or a 3-tbsp cookie scoop. Pack the mac and cheese into the muffin cups with your fingers really well. If you don't pack the mac and cheese down, they won't hold their shape when you take them out after baking, and you don't want them to fall apart.
• Bake the mac and cheese cups for 15 minutes, until bubbling and gooey. Remove them to a wire rack to cool for at least 10 minutes, then carefully run a plastic knife or toothpick (assuming you need to not destroy the nonstick coating on your pan) around the edges to loosen. Remove the mac and cheese cups from the pan and garnish with chopped chives or scallion greens. Enjoy!

MINI MAC CANAPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425. Coat mini muffin pans with 1 Tbsp. of the butter. Sprinkle greased tins with breadcrumbs. if you are baking in batches, evenly distribute the butter and breadcrumbs.
• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook pasta til it is just beginning to soften to the al dente stage. Drain pasta, run it under cold water, and return it to the pot.
• Heat remaining butter in a small pan over medium low heat. Stir in flour and cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute, or ti mixture turns slightly beige, is bubbly and appears to have grown in volume. Increase heat to medium and slowly whisk in warm milk. Bring to a boil whisking frequently. Reduce heat to low and simmer sauce for 2 minutes. Add the cheese to the sauce by 1/2 cup measures, stirring til cheese melts before making another addition. Pour sauce over pasta and stir well.
• Beat egg yolk with the cream and mustard and stir into pasta. Season with salt and pepper and press mixture into prepared tins. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or til cheese sauce is bubbly and tops are light brown. Allow to sit for 5 minutes, then serve.
• The canapes can be baked up to 2 days in advance and refrigerated, tightly covered. Reheat them in 375 oven for 7 to 10 minutes or til hot.
