  • Yield : 12
  • Prep Time : 1:10
  • Cook Time : 0:40
  • Total Time : 1:50

Ingredients

  • 200g dried macaroni pasta
  • 4 whole cloves
  • 1 large French shallot, peeled
  • 310ml (1 1/4 cups) milk
  • 1 dried bay leaf
  • 6 black peppercorns
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 180g smoky bacon, coarsely chopped
  • 25g butter, chopped
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons plain flour
  • 40g (1/2 cup) coarsely grated vintage cheddar
  • 40g (1/2 cup) coarsely grated gruyère
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 eggs, lightly whisked
  • 12 bambini bocconcini
  • Baby parsley or basil leaves, to serve

Bacon crumb topping

  • 1/2 rindless bacon rasher, finely chopped
  • 15g butter
  • 40g (1/2 cup) fresh sourdough breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Method

  • Step 1 Preheat oven to 220C/200C fan forced. Cook pasta in a saucepan of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and return to the pan.
  • Step 2 For the topping, heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the bacon. Cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes or until golden. Add the butter and stir until melted. Add the breadcrumbs and cook, tossing, for 3-4 minutes or until light golden. Remove from heat. Stir in the thyme.
  • Step 3 Grease twelve 125ml (1⁄2 cup) muffin pans with melted butter and dust lightly with flour. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes to chill. Press the cloves into the shallot. Place the milk, bay leaf, pepper and shallot in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until almost boiling. Set aside for 10 minutes to infuse. Strain into a jug. Discard the solids.
  • Step 4 Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes or until golden. Heat butter in a second saucepan for 1 minute or until melted. Stir in the flour for 1 minute or until mixture bubbles. Remove from heat. Gradually whisk in the strained milk until smooth. Return to medium heat. Cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes or until mixture boils and thickens.
  • Step 5 Add the cheddar, gruyère, mustard and bacon to the white sauce and stir until the cheese melts. Season. Add to the pasta and stir until well combined. Stir in the egg.
  • Step 6 Spoon half the macaroni mixture into the pans, pressing down with the back of a spoon. Place a bocconcini ball into the centre of each. Top with remaining macaroni mixture. Top with the bacon crumb mixture. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden. Allow to cool slightly in pans for 20 minutes.
  • Step 7 Run a flat-bladed knife around the edges of the muffins to loosen, then remove. Sprinkle with the herbs.
