drain. Bring that same pot back to the stove. Over medium high heat,
melt the butter and add the flour once melted. Whisk until well
incorporated, making a roux. Slowly add the milk, whisking constantly.
Keep whisking for about 5 minutes until the sauce boils and thickens.
Once it is thick, add the half and half and cook until the consistency
thickens. Remove from the heat and add the salt, the pepper, the
pinch of nutmeg the white cheddar and Gruyere. Mix everything
together until well incorporated, finally pour the macaroni into the
sauce and stir. Let rest in the fridge for at least 2 hours, make into balls
and freeze until hardened.
Whisk the breadcrumbs with the paprika, garlic powder, black pepper,
sugar, salt, and oregano in a shallow dish; set aside. Beat the eggs with
the 3 tablespoons milk in a small bowl. Remove the mac balls from the
freezer, coat in the egg wash, and then dredge in breading.
