Twiglet macaroni cheese

[LivingDeadGirlUK]

Would I be unreasonable to top a macaroni cheese with crushed up twiglets?

I think it would be delicious but my partner is having none of it.

Do it on your portion only and report back!

Hes just put it in the oven, I don't think he will let me near it but I may sprinkle some on top...

sounds interesting, but I wouldn't possibly spoil his - so only your side and make sure it doesn't spill over onto his.

if you hate it it will be easy enough to scrape off

sprinkle some on top when its searved I mean, I'm not going to sneak in and mess with his cooking!

I do that but with crushed up cheese and onion crisps. I then add grated cheese and grill.

Wotsits are also nice if mixed in.

That sounds delicious - I wonder why no-one’s ever made it. Please report back!
Of course some people hate Marmite/Twiglets but I love them.

Ive heard of this with cornflakes too, you would have to really smash them up though

I'd never have guessed that my "enough internet for today" moment would be this.

I’m very interested in the outcome
please report back

and of course ltb, who doesn’t like twiglets?

🤢🤢🤢🤢

Oh yes, this sounds utterly delightful. You must do it!

I am loving the suggestions on this thread, especially about the judicious use of Twiglets.

@PoissonOfTheChrist do you mix the Wotsits in with the mac cheese itself?

Chef tip is to mix a teaspoon (ish) of Marmite in when frying/sauteeing mushrooms. It works because umami, innit?

Yes but I crush them roughly @Uricon2

Sounds quite nice OP.

I really don't fancy the soggy mixed in wotsits though!

Twiglets are very salty, could overpower the flavour of the macaroni cheese. Use with caution, I'd say.

Thanks for the mushroom tip. I mix up a teaspoon of Marmite with a couple tablespoons hot water and add it to chopped kale or cabbage when I’m stir frying it in butter or marge. It goes down a treat with Sunday dinner.
I think over the years I’ve had more compliments for my Sunday greens than any other recipe I’ve cooked.

So I crushed some up with a rolling pin and sprinkled on my portion, was really nice! would have been either better under the top layer of cheese but I don't think my partner will become a marmite convert any time soon.

Thanks for the report back. I’m definitely going to try it now.

On their own I think they'd be a bit much, but mixed with breadcrumbs I think it would work.

Perhaps introduce gradually, upping the twiglet proportion over time like you would for a toddler.

Thanks for reporting back op

Im 100% going to try this

I've often wondered about doing this with Wotsits as a "crumb" will have to try it

Crushed up crisps is bog standard for us. Twiglets is flipping inspired! I think I’d be using whole ones to scoop up some macaroni cheese, yum!

It's a step too far for me personally but each to their own

I think the marmite really enhanced the flavour of the cheese
