Instructions: For the Topping: Combine the bread crumbs, butter and pepper. Set aside.

For the Macaroni: Prepare the macaroni according to package directions, cooking it so its a tad on the firm side. Drain and set aside.

Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 4-quart casserole. Toss the cooked macaroni with the cheese, eggs, milk, butter, salt and black pepper to taste, paprika and cayenne and spoon it into the casserole. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the top.

Bake the macaroni until its golden brown and bubbling on the sides, 25 to 30 minutes.

This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
