   I DID NOT TRY THIS. I made Mexican Mac and Cheese from the foodnetwork.https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/mexican-mac-n-cheese-2640037

I will add eggs to the Mexican Mac and Cheese and then follow this recipe.

1. Fill the mini muffin pan with the macaroni mixture right to the top of each cup.
2. In a small bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs, melted butter, and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the mac and cheese cups.
3. Bake the macaroni for fifteen minutes. Allow the macaroni to cool in the pan before attempting to move each cup.
4. If the mac and cheese cups do not easily come out of the pan, then gently use a butter knife to loosen them.
5. Serve and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
