Make Perfectly Crispy Baked Mac and Cheese on a Baking Sheet
The best part of baked mac and cheese is the crunchy gummy chunks on top. You can now cook the whole dish.
Whatever your favorite mac and cheese recipe, Food52’s Amanda Hesser has a trick to take it to the next level. After you’ve added your favorite cheese to the pasta, spread everything out on a baking sheet (add some breadcrumbs if you like) and bake in the oven at 475 ° F. After a few minutes, you’ll see the top starts to brown, which means the bottom too. roasted. When you take it out, your mac and cheese will have the perfect combination of crunch and chewiness. As Hessler explains, this changes the “crunch-to-softness ratio” from 20:80 to 50:50. Just watch it so you don’t burn it.
