Nothing says comfort like a warm, cheesy bowl of mac and cheese — especially when it’s served in a baker shaped just like the real thing. This single-serve version is extra creamy thanks to brie and sharp cheddar, and comes out of the oven with that irresistible golden crust on top. Serve it straight from the baker for a dish that’s just as fun to present as it is delicious to eat. Here’s how to make it:
Ingredients (1 serving):
-
½ cup elbow macaroni
-
2 tsp butter
-
2 tsp all-purpose flour
-
½ cup milk (whole or 2% works best)
-
½ tsp Dijon mustard
-
3 tbsp shredded sharp cheddar cheese
-
2 oz brie, rind removed and diced
-
Salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Cook macaroni in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Slowly whisk in milk and cook until slightly thickened, about 3–4 minutes.
- Stir in Dijon mustard, cheddar, and brie. Mix until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir macaroni into the cheese sauce and transfer to the Brie Baker.
- Leave the lid off and broil for 2–3 minutes, until the top is bubbly and golden.
- Allow to cool slightly, then serve straight from the baker.
Golden, bubbly, and irresistibly creamy, this single-serve mac and cheese is comfort food made personal. The figural baker makes it feel special — the perfect way to treat yourself or add a playful touch to any meal.
