By Debbie-5

served at Bistro Campagne for $17.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup cooked macaroni
• 1/4 cup Emmenthal cheese
• 1/4 cup Gruyere cheese
• 1/4 cup skim mozzarella
• 1 pinch grated nutmeg
• to taste sea salt
• to taste cracked white pepper
• 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano
• 1 teaspoon egg yolk

Preparation

Step 1

Start by finely grating all of the cheeses except the Parmigiano-Reggiano.
Use a large sauté pan to reduce the cream by half, then add the cheeses, nutmeg, salt, pepper and pasta.
Stir continuously until all of the cheeses are melted.
Remove from the heat, and then stir in the egg yolk.
Pour the mixture into a gratin dish or small ovenproof bowl.
A soufflé cup will work if you do not have a gratin dish. Sprinkle with the Parmigiano-Reggiano.
Brown under the broiler, and serve bubbling hot.
