Transform leftover mac and cheese into a crispy, indulgent late-night quesadilla masterpiece
In short: J. Kenji López-Alt demonstrates how to repurpose chilled macaroni and cheese into a pan-fried quesadilla. This simple technique solves the problem of congealed leftovers while providing a comforting, carb-heavy meal.
When refrigerated mac and cheese solidifies into a block, it can be difficult to reheat properly. López-Alt suggests two primary solutions: either thinning the mixture with milk during the reheating process or slicing the cold block to pan-fry it directly.
This specific preparation is part of a broader effort by the chef to support those affected by the coronavirus pandemic, including food-insecure families and displaced service industry workers, by focusing on organized cooking and community support.
