3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups skim or low fat milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

Steps:

Cook the macaroni in a large pot of salted water, following package directions. Cook until tender. Rinse in cold water and drain well. Preheat the oven to 325° F. Grease a 10x7x2-inch casserole dish. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and paprika. In the casserole dish, layer the cooked macaroni with 1 1/2 cups of the cheese; pour milk and egg mixture over all. Bake the casserole for 40 to 45 minutes, or until set in the center. In a small mixing bowl, combine remaining shredded cheese and crumbs. Spread over the casserole, then put under broiler to brown.
