FRIED MACARONI-AND-CHEESE BITES
Make way for little squares of heaven -- these fried morsels are sure to be voted most popular at any party. You can (and should) prepare the stovetop macaroni and cheese a few days ahead, since it will firm up in the refrigerator, for easier cutting. Then follow a two-step breading process, using panko instead of regular breadcrumbs for a crust that's crisp yet light. Don't be put off by the yield; the squares fry quickly, in three or four batches, and you can reheat replenishments over the course of the evening -- whenever the platter is wiped clean (which will be often).This recipe originally appeared in "Martha Stewart's Appetizers" (Clarkson Potter).

Steps:
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook macaroni until al dente according to package instructions; drain.
- In pot, melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour, and cook, stirring frequently, until mixture is pale golden and has a nutty aroma, about 4 minutes. Whisking constantly, slowly add milk. Cook, whisking along bottom of pot, until boiling, about 7 minutes. Reduce heat and gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat, and add remaining 1 tablespoon butter, the mustard powder, and cheese. Stir until melted and sauce is smooth; season with salt. Add macaroni to sauce, and stir to combine.
- Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with parchment; brush parchment lightly with oil. Spread macaroni mixture evenly in dish. Cover and refrigerate until firm, at least 8 hours.
- Invert set macaroni and cheese onto a cutting board and remove parchment. Cut into 1-inch squares with a sharp knife.
- Whisk eggs in a shallow dish. In a shallow dish, season panko with salt. Dip macaroni squares, a few at a time, in eggs, allowing excess to drip off into dish, then roll in panko mixture to coat completely. Transfer to a wire rack set on a baking sheet.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium until shimmering. Working in batches, add coated squares in a single layer (do not crowd pan); cook, turning occasionally, until all sides are crisp and golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes total. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined rack to drain and cool slightly. Wipe skillet clean. Repeat process with more oil and remaining squares. Serve warm.

Steps:
- For the eggrolls: Cook the pasta in boiling water according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, place a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook the bacon until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the bacon and all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease. Add the cream to the saucepan and heat for a minute or two. Add the Cheddar jack and processed cheese and stir until melted. Stir in the pasta, some pepper and the chopped bacon. Set aside.
- Put a small bowl of water next to a cutting board. One at a time, place an egg roll wrapper onto the cutting board with a corner of the wrapper pointing towards you. Dampen a finger with the water and moisten the outer edges of the wrapper. Scoop 3 tablespoons of the mac and cheese into the center of the wrapper. Fold the corner closest to you over the filling. Fold in the sides and roll the wrapper until it's tight and closed. Press to seal and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Heat an inch of vegetable oil in a skillet to 350 degrees F.
- Fry the egg rolls in batches of 4 or 5, depending on the size of your skillet, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Let the oil return to temperature between batches.
- For the quick ranch: Combine the mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, pesto, flaky sea salt and pepper in a bowl. Serve with the eggrolls as a dipping sauce.

- Heat the oil in a heavy pot or Dutch oven on medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F on a digital instant-read thermometer. Then, turn the heat down to medium.
- Meanwhile, cut the refrigerated mac and cheese into slabs roughly the size and shape of a deck of cards, approximately 1/2-inch squares.
- Combine the flour, salt, pepper, and cayenne in a pie plate. Whisk the egg and water together in a second pie plate. Breadcrumbs go in a third pie plate.
- Dredge each slab of mac and cheese in the flour and tap off as much excess powder as possible. Dip in the egg wash, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumbs. Set aside on a cooling rack for 5 minutes to set. Ease 3 or 4 pieces into the oil at a time and fry until golden brown, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side, flipping once. Remove to a cooling rack set over paper towels. Repeat with remaining squares. Serve hot. I like mine with cold ketchup, but that’s just me.
