Ingredients
- Coarse salt and ground pepper 1 tablespoon butter, melted, plus more for ramekins 1/2 pound elbow macaroni 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar (8 ounces) 2 large eggs 1 cup half-and-half 1 small garlic clove, minced 2 slices white sandwich bread, torn
Directions
Set a large pot of salted water to boil. Preheat oven to 350. Butter four 10-ounce ramekins. Cook pasta 3 minutes short of al dente; drain.
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups cheddar, eggs, half-and-half, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Add pasta, and stir to combine; divide among ramekins.
In a food processor, pulse bread and melted butter until coarse crumbs form; season with salt and pepper. Dividing evenly, top pasta mixture with 1/2 cup cheddar, then sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Place ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until mac and cheese is golden and bubbling, about 20 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Martha Stewart Member Rating: 2.0 stars 03/16/2020 Okay, for the recorrrddd.... Southern Mac-N-Cheese...does not have crumb-like toppings!! I repeat... IT DOES NOT HAVE CRUMB TOPPINGS!! That is all! Carry on... Martha Stewart Member Rating: 1 stars 05/18/2019 I'm actually really disappointed. I looked all over this website for a recipe called Laura's Crumb Topped Macaroni and Cheese and couldn't find it. I finally wemt back to my pinterest to find it. I loved the recipe but hadn't made it in a few years. The picture is still the exact same one but the name and recipe is completely different. The old one had gruyere, fontina, havarti, white cheddar and prosciutto. It was sooo good. This southern mac and cheese that they've replaced it with is trash. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 04/19/2012 I would prefer that the nutritional info be included with recipes. At the very least, the calorie count should be listed. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 01/17/2011 deecop = At the top of the page, above the photo of the dish and below the name of the dish, there (usually) is a RATINGS and COMMENTS with (SEE ALL) next to it.

Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 06/10/2010 Half and half is a light cream (the consistency of half cream and half milk) or use evaporated milk as a substitute.

The garlic was overpowering and the texture didn't lend itself well to mac Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 03/17/2009 I didn't care for this. I baked it for 20 mins in one casserole and it was just too dry for my taste. I prefer homemade mac with a traditional, creamy cheese sauce. Also, I thought the garlic was a "flavor bully" - it overwhelmed the delicate flavors of the eggs and cheddar. Besides, as a proud North Carolinian, I can tell you garlic is not a traditional ingredient in "southern" mac and cheese. Maybe it's "southern NY Mac Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 03/10/2009 Another winner! Just finished eating this for dinner with the cheddar topped Classic Meatloaf, and it was delicious. We loved the thicker texture. The garlic amount tasted just right, too, not so garlicky that my kids noticed, but zippy enough that my husband and I did. The only think I will change for next time -- It needed more salt to bring out the cheesy taste. I would use 1-1/2 tsp of salt in this recipe next time. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 03/07/2009 Yes! Mea culpa. I had the wrong number in my head, and should have looked it up. Thanks for the correction.
