Baked Brie Individual Mac n' Cheese


Baked Brie Mac n’ Cheese
(6 servings)


Ingredients:

8 oz. Pasta (see note)
¼ cup Unsalted Butter
2 tbsp. All-Purpose Flour
1¾ cups Milk
3 oz. Brie Cheese, rind removed and chopped
5 oz. Gruyere Cheese, shredded
5 ½ oz. Asiago Cheese, shredded and divided
½ tsp. Salt
½ tsp. Black Pepper
¾ cup Seasoned Croutons, crushed
1 large Fresh Tomato, sliced in 6 slices

Directions:

Cook pasta according to directions but for one minute less than called for.  Set aside.  In a medium sauce pan, melt butter over medium-high heat.  Whisk in flour until smooth and cook one minute.  Slowly add milk while whisking again until smooth.  Cook until thickened and bubbly.  Cook one minute more before adding the Brie, Gruyere and ¾ cup of Asiago cheeses.  Add cheeses one at a time until melted.  Remove from heat and stir in salt and pepper.  Now toss with the cooked pasta.  Spoon mixture into 6 (8 oz.) oven-safe ramekins that have been buttered or sprayed.  Top evenly with remaining Asiago cheese, crushed croutons and tomato slices.  Place in a pre-heated 350-degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until bubbly and slightly browned on top.  Serve immediately.

Notes:              You can use any small or short pasta shape that meets your needs.  Large shell or macaroni work well here.
