For the best flavor, use a high-quality extra-sharp cheddar cheese. The sharper the cheese, the more pronounced the flavor will be in the final dish. Don't overcook the macaroni. It should be slightly firm to the bite, as it will continue to cook in the oven. Ensure the egg-milk mixture is evenly distributed throughout the layers to prevent dry spots. The bread crumb topping adds a delightful textural contrast. Feel free to add a pinch of garlic powder or herbs to the bread crumbs for extra flavor.
