Leftover macaroni and cheese, refrigerated for at least overnight. After frying in oil the cheese is melted and all the flavor is restored.
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon Watkins Cayenne Pepper
1 egg beaten with 2 ounces water
1 cup bread crumbs, crushed crackers, crushed potato chips, cornflakes, etc.
Oil for frying
Directions:
Cut refrigerated macaroni and cheese into slices or bite size pieces.
Season the four 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.
I don’t deep fry this, just use a couple tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet.
