Description
I love me some Isaac, this recipe comes straight from his site: Indulge Yourself with Comfort Food. Isaac Mizrahi, our favorite designer/entertainer/man-about-town, struck gold with this macaroni & cheese recipe during a visit to Eileen Weinberg’s Good And Plenty To Go restaurant. Together, he and Eileen crafted the most delicious, decadent, and cheesiest of creations. Bechamel and Muenster and cheddar, oh my! With “comfort food” all the rage, and PMS always raging, macaroni and cheese is the ultimate security blanket.

Instructions
-
Heat the Milk and Cream
- In a saucepan, heat the milk and heavy cream until it reaches a boil.
-
Melt Butter
- Meanwhile, in another saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
-
Add Flour
- Once the butter has melted, add all the flour, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
-
Cook the Roux
- Let the flour cook in the butter for 4 to 5 minutes, continuing to stir. This will create a roux, which will thicken the sauce.
-
Combine Milk and Roux
- Remove the roux from the heat, and slowly add the warm milk and cream while whisking constantly. If the sauce appears too thick, you can add a touch more milk to reach your desired consistency.
-
Add Cheese
- Next, add the cheddar and muenster cheeses to the white sauce, stirring until melted and well combined. Reserve a bit of cheese for the topping.
-
Combine with Macaroni
- Stir the cheese sauce into the cooked macaroni until evenly coated.
-
Bake
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Transfer the cheesy macaroni mixture into a buttered casserole dish.
- Sprinkle the reserved cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is slightly browned and bubbly.
-
Serve and Enjoy!
- Allow the macaroni and cheese to cool slightly before serving.
