I thought I made good Mac until my to-be wife made I for my birthday one year early on in our dating.
Even bad mac and cheese is good but really good mac and cheese is so incredibly good. I went out and bought more cheese so she could teach me to make it right the very next weekend.
My guess is that the eggs are the major difference, probably makes it a little closer to an egg bake in consistency, but I dunno for sure, maybe someone else could speak on it more.
yall are thinking of desert custards. Custard technically just means a milk/liquid base thickened with egg. I wouldn’t say it ends up like an egg bake like a quiche or anything. But it does result in a more stable/less goopy Mac n cheese. Realistically there are dozens of ways to effectively make a recognizable ‘Mac n’ cheese’ all with varying levels of quality and taste, you can make a roux as a base for a beschamel sauce. You can even skip a base altogether and just use a cream or small curd cottage cheese as the sauce base. Beschamel with Parmesan on noodles aka og Mac n cheese honestly doesn’t sound very good. I feel cheddar is a requirement.
But it doesn't store well with it coagulating easily, it's incredibly heavy so I feel like there's a rock in my stomach if I eat more than a small bowl, and honestly there are better foods high in carbs and fats I'd prefer to eat

What's best is JKLA's 6-6-6 recipe.

I made this on Sunday by accident when I started and found out I only had Parmesan.
It’s not great.

Mac and cheese is good, don't get me wrong

I used to put macaroni cheese on bread and microwave it but fortunately I’ve been civilised since then.

People who don't like Mac and cheese are probably people who have only ever been subjected to that crap in kraft boxes. Real Mac and cheese is peak.
Lots of people in the comments calling it bland and I just weep for them because they've obviously never had real Mac and cheese.
