Ingredients

  • 1 package (225 grams / 8 oz) dried macaroni pasta
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups grated cheese
  • 1½ cups evaporated milk
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp white pepper
  • 1 tsp prepared yellow mustard
  • 1 pat of unsalted butter, melted
  • Breadcrumbs

Directions

  1. Boil macaroni in salted water until tender; drain.
  2. Beat eggs until fluffy.
  3. Combine macaroni, eggs, cheese, milk, onion, carrot, salt, white pepper, mustard, and butter.
  4. Pour into a greased baking dish and sprinkle shredded cheese and bread crumbs evenly on top.
  5. Bake at 175°C (350°F) until firm (about 30 minutes). A fork or metal skewer should come out dry when you press it all the way through the pie.

Notes

Macaroni pie can be enhanced further by adding ingredients such as tomato, chopped herbs, minced beef, or roasted onions. Also try using a few varieties of cheese together.

Usually best when the surface has browned to an even colour.
