Healthy White Cheddar Mac n Cheese
Lighter homemade white cheddar mac and cheese made with whole wheat macaroni, real white cheddar, and eggs for a creamy sauce with 12 grams of protein per bowl. Under 250 calories per serving and ready in 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 8 oz whole wheat macaroni
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp milk
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3.5 oz white cheddar cheese grated
Instructions
- Fill a medium sized pot halfway with water. Cover with a lid.
- Over high heat bring to a boil and add in the macaroni. Turn down to medium heat. Stir periodically until macaroni is cooked.
- Meanwhile, grate your cheese, if needed and gather the rest of the ingredients near the stove.
- Once the macaroni is cooked, turn the stove off. Drain noodles in a colander and return to the pot. Put the pot back on the hot element (but don't turn it back on... it will stay hot enough for a little while).
- Crack the eggs over the noodles and stir until they are cooked. It will look weird and you will start to doubt why you decided to try this recipe. Stick with it. Everything WILL come together, I promise!
- Next stir in the butter, milk, and salt until the butter is melted.
- Dump in the cheese and stir until the cheese is all melted and evenly distributed.
