START WITH YOUR FAVORITE MAC AND CHEESE RECIPE. I LIKE OOEY GOOEY MAC AND CHEESE BY SAMANTHA JACOBS. I WILL LINK HER RECIPE. THIS TIME, I USED COOKED BACON, PEPPERJACK, HORSERADISH CHEDDAR, SHARP CHEDDAR, AND GOUDA..
BEFORE BAKING, I TOPPED WITH A SPRINKLE OF SMOKED PAPRIKA AND FRENCH'S FRIED ONIONS.
1 pkg pepperidge farm puff pastry sheets
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • 1. Make your mac and cheese like you normally would. Allow it to cool and "set-or firm up". Here is the link to Samantha Jacobs Mac and Cheese that is my GO-TO recipe. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/pasta/ooey-gooey-mac-and-cheese-2.html
  • 2. Preheat oven to 400F.
  • 3. Thaw the puff pastry dough. Lightly flour a board and lightly roll dough. Cut into 4 sections (or more if you want little bite-sized appetizer pieces).
  • 4. Beat the egg in a little dish. This is your "glue" that will hold the dough together.
  • 5. Cut a section of your mac and cheese and place on top of the puff pastry section. (I'm guessing I used a little more than 1/4 cup).
  • 6. Brush egg wash around all sides of the puff pastry and fold each side up to meet. Pinch together, turn over and put "pretty side" up (seam sides down). Brush the top with egg wash.
  • 7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and slightly crispy-flaky.
  • 8. Serve immediately with a light salad or a veggie garnish.
