Instructions
Chill cooked mac 'n' cheese in the refrigerator for a few hours.
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Food process mac 'n' cheese with 3 large eggs until you get a mac 'n' cheese mush.
Spray the cavities of a donut pan with non-stick spray (very important!) and fill them with mac 'n' cheese mush - all the way to the top.
Bake for 20 minutes. You need to bake the donuts before frying them or they won't hold their donut shape.
Leave the donuts in the pan to cool to room temperature.
While the donuts are cooling, heat fry oil to 350 F in a fryer or deep skillet.
Remove donuts from pan and fry for about two minutes on each side or until each side is lightly browned.
Serve piping hot.
