Old-fashioned Three Cheese Macaroni and Cheese
- 1/4 cups Butter
- 1/2 whole Large Onion, Diced
- 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
- 6 whole Eggs
- 1/2 teaspoons Mustard Powder
- 1/4 teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
- 1 dash Salt And Pepper
- 8 ounces, fluid Gruyere Cheese
- 8 ounces, fluid Comte' Cheese
- 8 ounces, fluid Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 1 pound Penne Noodles
- 1 cup Panko Crumbs (or Crushed Croutons)
- Melt butter in a frying pan.
- Add diced yellow onion.
- Saute on medium low heat, stirring occasionally, until onions brown around the edges.
- While onions cook, pour heavy cream and eggs into a blender.

- Continue to whisk on low heat for about 3 minutes.
- Grate Gruyere cheese, Comte cheese and sharp cheddar cheese.
- Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Put a large pot of water on high heat.
- Be sure to wait for water to boil and then add the noodles (my favorite noodles are penne noodles).
- Cook noodles until al dente; follow cooking time on packaging as all noodles are different.
- Drain water from noodles.
- Then, in the same pot, pour the heavenly sauce over noodles.
- Add cheeses and stir.
- Oh my.
- Place saucy noodles into an oven-safe pot.
- For an easy and tasty topping, place croutons into a food processor and pulse until you have a crumbly texture.
- Top macaroni and cheese with croutons (or Panko bread crumbs).
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes.
- Welcome back, school.
- And welcome back, old-fashioned macaroni and cheese.
- Welcome back.
