Macaroni and Cheese in Parmesan Cups
Recipe courtesy Callahan Catering

Ingredients
Parmesan Cups:
1 1/4 cups fresh grated Parmesan

Macaroni and Cheese:
1/3 cup diced onion
1 sprig fresh thyme leaves
3 sprig fresh dill
1 sprig fresh oregano leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 allspice berry
1 bay leaf

2 cloves garlic
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup shredded Vermont sharp Cheddar
1/4 cup shredded Cotswold
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 cup cooked macaroni
Salt and fresh ground pepper

Instructions
To make the Parmesan Cups: Put a small nonstick pan on
stove over medium heat. Lay tart molds upside down on flat surface. Place 1
tablespoon of cheese in a small pile about the size of a quarter in the pan. Cook
until cheese melts and starts to bubble. Flip the cheese and continue cooking
until golden brown. Drape cheese over tart mold and press down with another tart

mold to form cup shape. Let cool. Remove from molds and trim off excess cheese
after cheese has cooled.

To make Macaroni and Cheese: Put the onion, herbs, garlic and cream in a heavy
saucepan and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until cream is reduced by
half. Strain and put cream back in pan on low heat. Whisk in the cheese. Add
cooked macaroni to cheese mixture. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.

To assemble: Spoon mixture into each Parmesan cup and garnish with chopped
parsley.
