Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 dash white pepper
1 dash nutmeg
3 eggs, Divided
1 1/2 cups fish, cooked (cod, halibut, tilapia, or whatever you like)
1 cup macaroni, cooked
2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
1/2 - 1 cup chopped vegetables (optional, use what you like)

Directions

1

Melt the butter in a saucepan, stir in the flour, and then add the milk, stirring all the while. (If the milk is slightly heated it's easier to get this lump-free!) Bring it to a boil and let it simmer for a couple of minutes, then add the spices. Then pull off of the heat and let the sauce/base cool for a bit.
2

Stir in egg yolks, cooked fish, cooked macaroni, and any veggies that you want to add (chopped leeks, grated carrots, or peas would be good!)
3

Beat the egg whites until they're stiff, then carefully fold this into the fish mixture. Put it in a well-greased casserole dish and sprinkle bread crumbs over the top.
4

Bake at 375 F for 40-50 minutes. When done, the casserole should be firm all the way through.

Enjoy!
