Time 30m

Yield About 70 rounds

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound elbow macaroni
4 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 pounds shredded mild yellow Cheddar cheese
1/4 pound shredded American cheese
Vegetable oil for greasing pan
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Cook the macaroni in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain.(Do not rinse it or add oil to the cooking water.) Line an 11-by-17-inch sheet pan with parchment paper. Spread the macaroni out on it. Let cool.
  • Meanwhile, pour the cream into a large pot and simmer until reduced to 2 cups. Stir in the Cheddar and American cheeses. Continue stirring until well blended. Add the macaroni and cook over high heat, stirring constantly, until very thick.
  • Grease the pan with the oil. Pour in the macaroni and spread evenly. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Using a 1 1/2-inch metal cutter, cut out rounds of macaroni. Combine the panko and Parmesan in a bowl and dredge the rounds in the mixture. Bake on an ungreased sheet pan until just warmed, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
