- Recipe is created for
  TM 5
  
  If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
  For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
  
  Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Recipe's preparation

Pasta preparation

Add 1600g water into bowl and add simmering basket.

Preheat water to 100 degrees. (I boil the kettle to save time).

Place simmering basket into "Closed lid" and then the pasta.

Boil 7 min / 100 / Sp 4 (or until al dente)

Place the spatula in half way through cooking to loosen pasta, and remove MC.

Remove simmering basket and let water drain. Set aside.

Preparing slices

Add butter (20g) 2 min / 90 / 1

Add flour (15g) 2 min / 100 / 2.5

Add milk (160g) 7 min / 100 / 2.5

Add grated cheese (75g) and parmesan, salt and pepper 1.5 / 90 / 3

Add pasta (you may need to seperate it a little) 2.5 min / 80 / 2 "Counter-clockwise operation" reverse

Spread mixture onto greased and lined tray and place in fridge until firm. Approx. 4 hours.

Cooking

Place flour into small bowl.

Whisk one egg and 1/3 cup milk with fork in another bowl.

Add panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.

Remove macaroni and cheese from tray and place onto a board.

Cut into even slices, cubes or triangles.

Dip each portion in to flour, then the egg wash followed by the panko crumbs.
(Use one hand for the flour only, and your secind hand for the egg wash and crumbs).

Shallow fry until each side is golden OR place in an Airfryer at 180c for 15 mins or until golden brown.

Tip

This recipe has been adapted from the 'mac n cheese bites' via taste.com.au.

I served it with some homestyle tomato chutney and Kewpie mayonnaise (Japanese mayonnaise), which can be found at an Asian grocer.

Works well as an entree or a side to a main meal.
