Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 ‚ÅÑ4 cup fine breadcrumbs
- 1 cup heavy cream (at room temperature)
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon chopped thyme
- 1 ‚ÅÑ2 teaspoon fennel pollen or ground fennel seed

- 3 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 ‚ÅÑ2 pound elbow macaroni (cooked)
- 1 cup diced (cooked flank steak)
- 12 grape tomatoes (halved)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F. Butter and breadcrumb a 12-cup standard-size muffin pan. In a large bowl whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, thyme, fennel pollen, mustard, and salt until smooth and combined. Stir in the cheeses with a rubber spatula.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain the pasta well and add to the cream mixture.
