This macaroni and cheese recipe will take you back to your childhood. The sauce blends Fontina, Gruyere, Cheddar, and Monterrey Jack with egg yolk in for richness. It's sort of a secret weapon.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
- ½ pound elbow macaroni
- 6 ounces heavy cream
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp flour
- 1 cup each shredded mild Cheddar, Gruyere, Fontina, and Monterey Jack cheese
- 4 egg yolks, beaten
Procedure[edit | edit source]
- Heat 1 gallon water to a rolling boil. Add salt and macaroni, and cook macaroni until al dente.
- While pasta boils, melt butter in a saucepan or a saucier over medium low heat, and cook until bubbling ceases.
- Whisk in flour and cook, whisking continuously, until blonde color is achieved.
- Temper in egg yolk. Add cheese and bring to just below a simmer. Cook, whisking continuously, until slightly thickened.
- Fold in macaroni and serve warm.
