Notes
• Cheese: I suggest using Gruyère along with a cheddar for the best flavor. Fontina is a good substitution option as it melts well. If you do substitute cheese, make sure it is a good melting cheese.
• Panko Topping: Adding shredded Parmesan and/or Cheddar is a nice combination to add to the panko.
• Freezing: When freezing anything with dairy, separation may occur which changes the texture. If you do freeze the Mac and Cheese, cut into individual portions, wrap tightly with plastic wrap, and place in a freezer bag or airtight container. To thaw, it is best to set the Mac and Cheese in the refrigerator overnight.
• Reheating: The best way to reheat the Mac and Cheese is in the oven. Preheat oven to 300° F – Make sure the Mac and Cheese is in a baking dish, cover with foil, and heat about 20-30 minutes or until warmed.
• Storing Leftovers: Cover the Mac and Cheese tightly and store in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
• Preparing in Advance: Prepping the Mac and Cheese the day before without baking is not recommended. The texture of the cheese will change and be unpalatable.
