Mac and Cheese Muffins

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  2. 2

    Puree onion, carrots and broccoli in food processor or blender until smooth.

  3. 3

    Mix 1 cup of cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, egg, butter and olive oil in large bowl. Add cooked macaroni, vegetables and ½ cup bread crumbs. Stir until just incorporated.

  4. 4

    Spoon mixture evenly into greased muffin pan. Sprinkle remaining bread crumbs on top along with the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese and bake 30 minutes, or until lightly browned.

  5. 5

    Let cool for 5 minutes and remove from the muffin tins.

Notes

I used my food processor to finely chop the carrots, broccoli and onion and it worked great. You can mix up the type of cheese you use. I suggest using any type of small shaped pasta, as it works best in the small muffin shape. You can try adding different vegetables like zucchini.
