Ingredients
- Leftover baked macaroni and cheese, refrigerated for at least overnight
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 egg beaten with 2 ounces water
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- Oil for deep frying, preheated to 375 degrees
Directions
Cut refrigerated macaroni and cheese into slices or bite size pieces.
Season the flour with salt, pepper and cayenne. Dredge each piece through the flour and gently tap off excess. Dip in the egg wash and then coat with the bread crumbs. Allow them to rest for 5 minutes so the crust can set. Very carefully drop into the oil and fry until golden brown. Remove to a baking sheet fitted with a rack and rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Fives stars without a second thought. Must confess to substituting crushed Rice Chex for the panko bread crumbs, So simple and delicious. Better than the mac and cheese main course from last night. Hooray for Leftovers!

Fun way to treat leftover macaroni. Did this in the pan with bacon grease, and it was very flavoful.

So yummy!! Reheating in the microwave is not good, they are soggy. I reheated our by frying them for about 30 seconds and they were as crispy as the day I made them.
