Just wanted to post a “thank you” to the author. I normally follow my own recipe but decided to try this one for Turkey Day. I made 1-1/2 times the recipe for a dinner for 12 ahead of time the night before, putting a small amount in a dish in the oven to “sample” the evening before just to taste. I used mild cheddar, sharp cheddar and Gruyere cheese (lucky my local market had cave-aged Gruyere on sale for $5.00/lb!) Folks, shred your own cheese, don’t use the pre-shredded stuff. It melts better and is fresher, easy enough to do if you have a food processor with the blade. I really recommend you *don’t* make it the night before. The sample dish we made was so much better.

If you have time, jump over to this post for the juicy details: or focus on these tips: – Never stop stirring your milk once it hits the pan. If your skillet is too hot or you walk away and for a minute you could scorch the white sauce and it will curdle. It doesn’t really hurt the taste, but it will look sort of clumpy.

• Scatter over the bread and remaining 25g grated parmesan, then bake for 20 mins until crisp and golden. Can be frozen before baking – defrost thoroughly before cooking. I'm trying out this recipe. I've added paprika, little bit of chilli and the tiniest bit of nutmeg (I was curious and overly cautious so not even half a teaspoon as I've never used it in cheese sauce before. It's a thing tho!

Because I'll be making them in advance for the shower I tested both putting some in the fridge and some in the freezer and reheating in the oven the next day. Both options worked, the frozen ones just need to reheat in the oven longer (maybe 15ish minutes on low heat instead of less if just put in fridge). Overall they are good but they did taste a little better when eaten the day of being made, and I found they were a tiny bit dry and could use a little more flavor. Next time I'll add some garlic powder and maybe a bit of dijon mustard. However because they're bite sized they'll naturally be a little more dry than a full pan of mac n cheese, given that the outside of the bit sized piece gets crispy.
