What are mac and cheese bites made of? ›

A great appetizer or game-day snack to munch on, these deep-fried bites are so easy to make. Macaroni and cheese is simply formed into balls, dipped in dry breadcrumbs, then coated in an egg and milk mixture and rolled again into the breadcrumbs for a second coating.

A lot of things are fried between 325-400 degrees F. The sweet spot for fried mac is between 350-375. If it's too low, your crust won't seal quickly enough and your balls may fall apart. If it's too hot, you run the risk of having a cold center (remember, they're sort of frozen when they go in).

Place them in a 350°F heated oven for 5 to 7 minutes or until they are heated thoroughly. You can even reheat the mac and cheese balls directly from the freezer this way, without thawing them! Just increase the heat time to 10 to 15 minutes.

This can be done many different ways. Some of the most common is using Evaporated Milk, the Pasta Water, make a Mornay Sauce, or use American Cheese. Evaporated Milk relies on the high concentration of micelles (milk proteins) to keep the sauce smooth.

Pro Tip: Don't use pre-shredded cheese. Many store-bought shredded cheese brands coat their cheese with an anti-caking agent than can make sauces grainy and less creamy. While it requires a bit of an arm workout, grating your own yields the best texture.

They will last up to 4 days in the fridge. To reheat, place in the microwave for a minute or in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes.
