Baked Mac And Cheese Cupcakes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. In a small bowl, stir together the bread crumbs, olive oil and salt; set aside.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook for about 8 minutes, it should still be a little bit firm. Remove from the heat, drain and return to the pan; stir in the butter and egg until pasta is evenly coated. Reserve 1/2 cup of sharp Cheddar cheese and stir the remaining Cheddar cheese, milk and mozzarella cheese into the pasta. Spoon into the prepared muffin tin. Sprinkle the reserved cheese and the bread crumb mixture over the tops.
• Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the topping is nicely browned. Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before removing from the pan. This will allow the cheese to set and they will hold their muffin shape.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Cook pasta according to package directions.
• Meanwhile, prepare pans:
• Either line a muffin tin with 12 paper or foil cupcake liners, or grease mini muffin pans (enough for 24 mini cupcakes) with butter and sprinkle with panko crumbs, dumping out excess crumbs.
• When pasta is done, drain and return to pot.
• Stir in shredded cheese until melted.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Beat eggs and milk together in a medium bowl; stir into pasta.
• Spoon mixture into prepared muffin cups.
• Bake 20 minutes for full-size cupcakes; 15 minutes for mini cupcakes.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
• 2. Cook the macaroni until tender. Drain, toss with a little bit of the oil, and set aside.
• 3. In a medium nonstick saucepan, whisk together the milk and cornstarch until well blended. Stirring often, bring to a boil over medium heat.
• 4. Stir in the mustard, pepper, and salt. Reduce heat to low and simmer until thickened.
• 5. Stir in the cheddar until it melts, then fold in the macaroni.
• 6. Butter two cupcake pans and coat with the bread crumbs. (Be sure to shake off the excess.)
• 7. Fold the chives into the macaroni mixture. Spoon the mixture into the pans and top with bread crumbs to taste.
• 8. Bake until golden on top, 15 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray 2 (12-cup) muffin or cupcake pans with vegetable cooking spray. Using 1 cup of the bread crumbs, coat the inside of each muffin cup with bread crumbs, shaking off any excess. In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey or chicken, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, Cook, stirring frequently, until cooked through, about 5 to 8 minutes. Set aside and cover to keep warm. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and add to a large bowl. Stir in the cooked turkey and the cheeses. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Spoon the prepared pasta mixture into the cupcake molds, filling evenly to about 2/3 full. Arrange a few pieces of tomato, broccoli and asparagus into each cup. Top with a thin layer of the remaining bread crumbs and drizzle with olive oil. Bake until golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes and carefully unmold with a spoon onto a serving platter. *Cook's Note: To blanch vegetables, bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the vegetables and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until very crisp. Using a small strainer, remove the vegetables and immediately plunge into a bowl of iced water. Drain and use.
