Ingredients

• 2 cups elbow macaroni
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 3 large eggs
• 2 cups milk
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.

Step 2

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the macaroni according to the package instructions until just al dente, then drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and flour until smooth. Add the baking powder, salt, and black pepper, and mix well.

Step 4

Stir in 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, the mozzarella cheese, and the Parmesan cheese into the wet ingredients. Mix until combined.

Step 5

Add the cooked macaroni to the bowl and gently stir to evenly coat the pasta with the mixture.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of cheddar cheese over the top and, if desired, dust with a bit of paprika for color and flavor.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the middle should come out clean.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Enjoy your delicious Impossible Macaroni and Cheese Pie!
