Chick-Fil-A Mac & Cheese

1: Start by cooking your macaroni noodles. Make sure that you salt the water.

2: Once they are done, set them aside.

3: While your noodles are cooking, start on your sauce.

4: To a saucepan set to medium heat, add butter.

5: Once your butter is melted and bubbly, add in your flour and whisk.

6: Keeping the fire at medium heat, add your seasonings while you're whisking your flour.

7: Once your flour starts to bubble, start adding your milk in half cup increments, whisking after each addition.

8: Once all of your milk is added, keep your heat at medium for 1 to 2 minutes.

9: Add your yolk to a separate bowl and add a small amount of the warm milk mixture to that bowl.

10: Whisk your egg yolk with some of the milk mixture until it is smooth.

11: Add your egg yolk to the rest of the milk base and whisk until fully incorporated.

12: Return to the heat for 1 to 2 minutes but do not bring to a boil.

13: Remove your sauce from the stove and add in your cheeses, saving ½ cup of cheddar cheese for the top.

14: Add your cooked noodles to the cheese sauce and mix until everything is fully coated.

15: If you want a crispy top, add to a baking dish and top with saved cheddar cheese.

16: Broil on high until the top is golden and bubbly, keeping track to avoid overcooking.

17: Let it cool for 5 minutes and then serve.
