Brie Mac and Cheese is a rich, creamy, and elegant twist on classic mac and cheese. Made with a velvety Brie cheese sauce, tender pasta, and a hint of Parmesan, this dish is indulgent, comforting, and surprisingly easy to make—perfect for weeknights, potlucks, or cozy nights in.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces elbow macaroni
  • 1 cup Brie cheese, rind removed and chopped
  • 2 cups milk (whole or 2%)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Optional: chopped parsley or chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour to make a roux and cook for about 1 minute.
  3. Slowly pour in milk, whisking continuously. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 3–4 minutes.
  4. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  5. Add chopped Brie and Parmesan cheese, stirring until smooth and creamy.
  6. Combine cooked pasta with the cheese sauce, coating evenly.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives if desired and serve warm.

Notes

  • Add shredded cheddar for extra richness.
  • For a baked version, top with breadcrumbs and bake until golden.
  • Spice it up with cayenne or red pepper flakes.
  • Use half-and-half instead of milk for an even creamier texture.
  • Try different pasta shapes like shells, cavatappi, or penne.
