Opening portion of macaroni cheese (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

niche

'opening' is the definition.

'portion of macaroni cheese' is the wordplay.
'portion of' indicates a hidden word.
'NICHE' is hidden within 'macaroni cheese'.

(Other definitions for niche that I've seen before include "Place that's cosy" , "Suitable position or small alcove" , "Speciality" , "small specialised market" , "Special location" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
