Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook for 8 minutes until al dente. Drain and return to the pan. Stir in the butter and egg until the pasta is evenly coated.
Reserve 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese and stir the cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese and milk into the pasta. Spoon evenly into the muffin tin. Sprinkle the reserved cheese on top.
In a small bowl combine the bread crumbs, olive oil, and salt. Sprinkle on the top.
Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven or until it is golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
