The normal American makes crappy mac-n-cheese from a box :-) However, I've never heard of eggs in it. Sounds interesting, in a pasta carbonara sort of way. Is it a baked recipe, or "sauce & noodles" deal?

I typically make a roux, add a sharp/extra sharp cheddar to it to make a very tangy cheese sauce, then stir in the cooked macaroni, and a touch of paprika and cayenne and sprinkle breadcrumbs on top. Sometimes I will add feta or a little blue cheese if I have any on hand. My Midwestern wife adds Velveeta since she likes the extra creaminess and it's how her mom made it. Either way is fine with me.

Ronald Reagan mac and cheese uses an egg [0].

I haven't tried it, but molecular gastronomists (or are they modernists?) use sodium citrate to keep real cheese creamy when it's heated [1].
