Delicious and Easy Mac and Cheese Bite Appetizers

Hi everyone!  Well it’s football season and that means parties, get togethers, tailgating and more. Tailgating and football parties are a bit more casual than other parties so I try and be a bit more daring and make new dishes that I think will be a big hit.  I tried these mac and cheese bites recently and they are SO AMAZING!  Everyone loved them and the presentation was so cute.  Even more exciting, the kids ate them all up.  Who doesn’t love a mac and cheese bite?  Lets get started:

Easy Mac and Cheese Appetizer Bites

4 oz aged white cheddar cheese, grated
4 oz Gruyère, grated
2 extra large egg yolks
