Ingredients

• 250 grams Gluten-free macaroni
• 60 grams Butter
• 50 grams Gluten-free flour
• 500 milliliters Whole milk
• 250 grams Sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, ground
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 large Eggs
• 50 grams Gluten-free breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free macaroni and cook until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Sprinkle in the gluten-free flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes until you have a smooth roux.

Step 4

Gradually pour the whole milk into the saucepan, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue to cook and stir for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 5

Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the sharp cheddar and Parmesan cheese until completely melted and smooth.

Step 6

Season the cheese sauce with salt, black pepper, and paprika, adjusting to taste.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni with the cheese sauce, ensuring every piece of pasta is coated.

Step 8

In a separate small bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then stir them into the macaroni mixture until well combined.

Step 9

Transfer the macaroni and cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 10

Sprinkle the gluten-free breadcrumbs on top to create a crust.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free macaroni pie!
