Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
8 ounces Dry elbow macaroni
2 larges Eggs
2 larges Egg whites
2½ cup Half-and-half
2 ounces Feta cheese; crumbled
¼ cup Finely chopped red onion
¼ cup Finely chopped green onion
¼ cup Chopped fresh parsley; chopped
Salt and black pepper; to taste
10 SERVINGS OVO-LACTO

Directions

Also from Design Cuisine, this variation of that old favorite uses feta cheese and half-and-half for a rich, creamy and slightly unusual taste.

Although the recipe calls for timbale molds, available in many cooking supply stores, ovenproof custard cups or ramekins will work as well. Or, if you prefer, you can bake the macaroni and cheese in a ½ quart casserole dish.

Bring large saucepan of water to a boil. When water boils, add macaroni, stirring to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions or until al dente.

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter or oil timbales or other molds. Set aside. When macaroni is cooked, drain, rinse under cold running water and thoroughly drain again.

In large bowl, beat eggs, egg whites and half-and-half. Add macaroni, cheese, both onions, parsley, salt and pepper and mix well. Spoon mixture into molds. Place them in baking dish and fill with hot water until water comes about halfway up sides of molds. Cover with foil and bake until set, about 40 minutes.

Remove cups from water and let cool slightly. To unmold, run a sharp knife around inside edge of each. Place plate over cup, invert and shake firmly.

This dish also may be served in the molds.
