Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350°F.
  2. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain.
  3. Meanwhile, melt 4 tablespoons butter in a Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add garlic; cook and stir for 1 minute. Whisk in flour until blended. Gradually whisk in milk and wing sauce. Bring to a boil; cook and whisk for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat to low. Gradually whisk in colby until melted.
  4. Remove from the heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Whisk 1/4 cup hot cheese sauce into eggs in a bowl. Return all to the pan, whisking constantly. Stir in pasta. Divide pasta mixture into greased mini muffin cups, pressing down gently.
  5. Melt remaining butter; toss with bread crumbs. Sprinkle blue cheese and crumb mixture over bites. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in bites reads 160°F. Let stand for 10 minutes in pans before serving.

Colby cheese is a Wisconsin original. It has a mild, cheddar-like flavor, but the texture is softer, moister and more open than cheddar.

In Wisconsin, we make more flavors, varieties, and styles of cheese than anywhere else in the world. We believe in tradition, producing everything from Italian classics, like parmesan and ricotta, to swiss cheese and cheddar varieties. But every Wisconsin cheesemaker is an innovator as well, which is why we have so many Wisconsin originals, like colby and muenster. Whether it’s a grilled cheese sandwich, potatoes au gratin, or a charcuterie board, Wisconsin cheese makes every dish and recipe tastier.
