Cuisine: Caribbean
Ingredients: 2 cups elbow macaroni; 2 cups grated cheddar cheese; 1 1/2 cups whole milk; 3 large eggs; 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese; 1/4 cup butter; 1 small onion, finely chopped; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg; Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and butter a baking dish.
Cook the macaroni in a large pot of salted boiling water until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, nutmeg, Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
In the buttered baking dish, layer half of the cooked macaroni. Sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese over the macaroni.
Pour half of the milk and egg mixture over the macaroni and cheese in the baking dish.
Repeat the layers with the remaining macaroni and cheddar cheese, then pour the rest of the milk and egg mixture over the top.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Once done, allow the Bajan Macaroni Pie to cool slightly before serving. This dish is best enjoyed warm with a side salad or your favorite tropical fruit.
