Macaroni and cheese in a cone
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Mac and cheese in a pastry horn is both an original individual serving and a delicious filling. You can buy the horn at a store, but I recommend making it yourself from puff pastry. When brushed with egg, the horn turns out very appetizing! Special molds are sold for this kind of pastry, but if you can't find them, don't worry—you can make the mold yourself using foil. The finished dish is ready to be served.
