Leftover Cheeseboard Mac 'n' Cheese

Ingredients

• 350g elbow macaroni
• 25g butter
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 25g flour
• 450 mL milk
• 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
• 200g mix of cheese (e.g. brie, cheddar, Havarti, or any leftovers), grated
• Salt and pepper

Topping

• 50g leftover crackers
• 50g Parmesan

Method

Use whatever odds and ends of cheese you have – blue cheese, gouda and camembert all work well. It's a great dish to use up any leftovers!

1. Cook the macaroni according to pack instructions, drain and set aside. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, then add the garlic, salt and pepper. Stir for 30 seconds then add the flour.
3. Slowly add the milk a little at a time, stirring continuously until you have a smooth sauce. Remove from the heat and add the mustard and cheese, mixing until the cheese has melted.
4. Combine the cheese sauce and cooked macaroni, season well, and pour into an ovenproof dish.
5. Add the crackers and Parmesan to a food processor and blitz into a crumb. Sprinkle over the macaroni cheese and bake for 25 minutes until golden and bubbling.
