This isn’t so much about how to make macaroni and cheese as it is about what to do with leftovers. Waffling the next day allows the outside to develop a nice crunch in the iron’s high, double-sided heat while the inside melts into perfection.

Poor waffle irons tend to get tucked away in the backs of dark cupboards six days a week, only allowed out for Sunday brunch. It’s because the masses scoff at them as single-use appliances. Well, stop scoffing. Waffle irons are capable of much, much more than just waffles. We’re talking steak, potatoes, pizza and beyond. In fact, what I found was that once we ask the question “Will it waffle?”, the answers are practically limitless. Take a look. See less

How to make it
- Instructions:
- 1. Cut the macaroni and cheese into slices about 1/2 inch thick.
- 2. Preheat the waffle iron on medium. Preheat the oven on its lowest setting.
- 3. In a small bowl, beat the egg with a pinch each of salt and pepper.
- 4. Set out 3 shallow bowls. Measure the flour into the first. In the second bowl, place the beaten eggs. Mix the bread crumbs with the cheese in the third.
- 5. Take a slice of the macaroni and cheese, and, handling it gently, coat both sides in the flour. Then dunk both sides in the egg. Finally, coat both sides with the bread crumbs, pressing the mixture so it sticks. Set aside the slice and repeat with the remaining slices.
- 6. Coat both sides of the waffle iron grid with nonstick spray. Place the macaroni and cheese slices in the waffle iron, close the lid, and cook until heated through and golden brown, 3 minutes.
- 7. The extraction process can be tricky. With a silicone spatula, loosen the edges of the macaroni and cheese. Use the spatula to gently pry the macaroni and cheese from the waffle iron and then support the bottom with the spatula while you lift it out with tongs.
- 8. Repeat Steps 5 through 7 until all of the macaroni and cheese has been waffled. Keep the finished macaroni and cheese warm in the oven.
