Preheat over to 350 degrees. Butter a casserole pan or dish.

Cook macaroni until al dente. Run cool water over and drain well.

In a 4 quart measuring bowl, break the 4 eggs and beat to mix well. Add enough milk to make 4 cups total of egg and milk mixture. Mix well.

Pour macaroni into casserole. Loosely mix in cheese to distribute evenly. Pour egg and milk mixture over the mac and cheese to cover (this will form a soft custard).

Season with salt and pepper. Dot with butter. Bake for 40 minutes until custard sets up.
