Breakfast Mac & Cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
- 12 ounces breakfast sausage, removed from casing
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 4 ounces cream cheese, diced
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
- 2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese, divided
- 8 ounces macaroni, cooked for 6 minutes, drained and rinsed with cool water
- 2 cups chopped tomatoes
- 10 ounces cooked tater tots
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons sliced scallion tops
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add onion and cook until soft, about 3-5 minutes. Add sausage and cook, breaking apart into bite size pieces, until browned. Stir in flour until completely combined then add the milk and bring to a simmer. Once the mixture has thickened, stir in the cream cheese, 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese and 1 1/2 cups monterey jack cheese until completely combined and melted.
- Fold in the cooked macaroni, tomatoes, salt and pepper and transfer to a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with tater tots, then use a spoon to create 6 wells and break eggs into each well. Top with remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheddar and monterey jack cheeses, avoiding covering the eggs. Bake until egg whites are set, about 12-15 minutes.
- Top with sliced scallions and serve.
