This is a similar idea to the Exploded Macaroni Omelet dish that I made several months ago. It is a simple, straight forward cheese, egg and pasta seasoned with some fresh torn basil, garlic, salt and cracked pepper. It made for a tasty wake and bake munchie-hangover cure.
Ingredients
(serves 2)
1 box Annie's Macaroni and Cheese
2 1/2 tbsp butter
2 eggs
a small handful of chopped or torn fresh basil leaves
salt and garlic-pepper
Directions
Cover pasta in a a pot or saucepan with water (about 6 cups). Bring to a boil and cook at Medium heat.
Cook for another 5 minutes or until done.
Drain pasta.
Heat 2 tbsp of butter in the pasta pot on low heat.
Place 1/2 tbsp of butter in a small skillet or frying pan set to Medium-High heat. Crack an egg in the frying pan when the butter melts. I like to bust open the yolk with a spatula.
Tear or cut up the basil leaves and sprinkle on top of the eggs.
Add 1/4 cup milk and powdered cheese to pasta pot.
Mix cheese, butter and milk together until smooth and creamy.
Add pasta back in and mix well.
After about 2 minutes, pile as much pasta as you want in a a bowl.
Salt eggs in the frying pan. Flip eggs for 30 seconds and then remove and place yolk side up on top of the Mac n' Cheese.
Crack some Garlic-Pepper to taste.
If you don't have garlic pepper, you can add ~ 1 tbsp minced garlic to the butter to fry the eggs.
You can also garnish with a little shredded cheese if you have some on hand.
EAT WITH A KNIFE AND SPOON!
