Baked Macaroni & Cheese

I happened upon this recipe recently in a cookbook.  It's delicious, simple, and just a little different than I've experience in other Macaroni & Cheese recipes.

8 oz Macaroni
2 cups Milk
10 oz shredded Cheddar Cheese
3 Eggs
1 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Pepper

1. Cook macaroni according to package directions, omitting salt.  Drain.
2. Heat oven to 400 deg Fahrenheit.
3. Put macaroni in baking dish.
4. In a bowl, beat 3 eggs with a fork.  Add 2 cups milk, 2 1/2 cups cheese, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Pour over macaroni.  Stir to combine mixture with macaroni.
5. Cover with foil.  Bake for 40 minutes.  Uncover.  Sprinkle with remaining cheese.  Bake 5 minutes or until cheese melts.
