Don't be fooled by the simplicity of this recipe. The texture combinations paired with the flavours are delicious. Serve it warm or cold for a light supper.
Kids love getting their own specially baked dish of mac and cheese. It adds great visual appeal and leftovers are easy to pack for a quick lunch at work. If baking in a larger dish, cold leftovers can be cut into perfect serving sizes for an easy reheat in the oven or microwave. Emmenthal or Fontina cheese are great substitutes for Gruyere, if desired.
