As if creamy macaroni cheese wasn’t indulgent enough, we’ve taken it to a new level with our haddock macaroni bake. While haddock recipes often center around good old fish and chips, smoked haddock is a totally different kettle of fish, with a much more intense taste. The smoky haddock pairs beautifully with the creamy cheese sauce and eggs, and we’ve added garlicky chives and a dash of nutmeg to cut through the richness of the sauce. The fresh breadcrumbs are the cherry on the cake here, adding a beautiful crunchy contrast to the silky mac and cheese. Comfort food at its finest!
