Instructions

Preparation Steps

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Cook macaroni in salted boiling water according to package directions, then drain.
Generously butter a 13x9 inch baking dish.
Place cooked macaroni in the baking dish and toss with 1 tablespoon butter.
Mix in crumbled feta cheese evenly.
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, chili powder, and sweet paprika.
Pour the egg mixture over the macaroni. It should come about three-quarters of the way up, not covering completely.
Melt remaining butter in a frying pan over medium heat.
Add panko crumbs to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown.
Remove breadcrumb topping from heat and sprinkle evenly over the macaroni mixture.
Bake for 35 minutes or until custard is set and edges are browned.
Let the dish cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Top with freshly grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Serve warm.
