Equipment

  • small cast iron skillet or 8x8 pan
  • parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box Gluten Free Macaroni & Cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 tsp dijon mustard Grey Pupon is my fave
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup crushed pork rinds

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Gluten Free Macaroni & Cheese according to the box directions. Let it cool on a plate then transfer to an airtight container to sit in the fridge overnight or at least 2 hours. This helps the starches set up to not falling apart into bits.
  • Line an 8 inch cast iron skillet or 8x8 square pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Preheat your oven to 350F.
  • In a large bowl whisk together eggs, heavy cream, dijon mustard, worcestershire, 1 cup of shredded cheese (reserve 1/4 cup for top). Set aside.
  • Now spoon out and press down your cooled gluten free Macaroni and Cheese into the pan you prepared with parchment paper.
  • Pour the egg mixture over your mac and cheese in the baking dish then top with remaining 1/4 cup shredded cheese.
  • Bake in your 350F oven for 25 minutes.
  • Let it cool 5 minutes before serving up.
  • Keep leftovers in an airtight container up to 5 days.
  • To reheat, place in 350F oven for 15 minutes until heated.
  • Microwave reheating is not reccommended. It will make it have a rubbery texture.
