heat, whisking occasionally to prevent scorching.
Remove from heat, add the cheese all at once, and whisk
until fully melted and smooth. Season to taste with salt
and more hot sauce if desired.
Beat the eggs in a small bowl until homogeneous and
frothy. Whisking constantly, pour in 1 cup of the cheese
mixture, whisking until combined. Slowly pour the egg
mixture into the cheese sauce, whisking constantly. Add
the drained macaroni and stir to combine.
- Transfer the mixture to a buttered 3-quart oval casserole
dish or a 9- by 13-inch baking dish. Top with the bread
crumbs and cover tightly with foil. Bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake until the bread crumbs are
browned and the sauce is bubbling, about 10 minutes
longer. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5
minutes, then serve.
