Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a muffin tin with nonstick spray.
2 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add macaroni
and cook for 7 to 8 minutes. Pasta should still be a bit firm. While this is
boiling, mix together the breadcrumbs, olive oil and salt in a small bowl.
3 Once macaroni is done cooking, drain and return to pot, removing it from the
heat. Stir in butter to coat. Then stir in beaten egg, ensuring pasta is evenly
coated.
4 Stir in 1 ½ cups of cheddar, the milk, garlic powder, mustard and all of the
mozzarella cheese and mix to combine.
5 Spoon into 12 prepared muffin tins and top with the remaining ½ cup of cheese
and the breadcrumb/spice mixture.
6 Bake for 26 to 30 minutes, until tops are golden brown. Cool for a minimum of 20
to 30 minutes before removing.
