Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, about 7-9 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and whisk in flour to create a roux. Gradually add milk and stir until thickened.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine cooked macaroni with the cheese sauce. Season with salt and pepper, adding any optional vegetables.
  5. Whisk together eggs and cream in a separate bowl. Fold the egg mixture into the mac and cheese gently.
  6. Spoon the mixture into greased muffin tins, filling them about three-quarters full. Tap to remove air pockets.
  7. Sprinkle panko breadcrumbs over the top of each cup. Optionally add fresh parsley or more cheese.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
  9. Let cool for 5 minutes, then gently remove from the muffin tin and serve warm.
