Decadent Truffle Mac and Cheese Recipe

Today’s Recipe: Truffle Mac and Cheese with Crispy Bacon

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share my latest creation: a decadent Truffle Mac and Cheese with Crispy Bacon. This dish is perfect for those cozy nights in or when you want to impress your friends with a gourmet twist on a classic comfort food.

For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• macaroni (200g)
• Gruyere cheese (150g)
• Fontina cheese (150g)
• whole milk (500ml)
• butter (50g)
• truffle oil (1 tbsp)
• all-purpose flour (25g)
• bacon strips (150g)
• bread crumbs (50g)
• salt and pepper to taste

In terms of kitchen tools, you’ll need:

• saucepan
• whisk
• baking dish
• skillet

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C. Cook the macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk constantly for 2 minutes to make a roux.

Slowly whisk in the milk, making sure there are no lumps. Cook the sauce until thickened, then add the Gruyere and Fontina cheese, stirring until melted. Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the truffle oil, salt, and pepper.

In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy, then chop into small pieces. Mix the cooked macaroni with the cheese sauce and crispy bacon. Pour the mixture into a baking dish.

Top the mac and cheese with bread crumbs and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and bubbly. Serve hot and enjoy the rich, creamy goodness of truffle mac and cheese with a crunchy bacon topping.

This recipe makes approximately 4 servings, with each serving weighing around 300g. One serving of this indulgent dish is estimated to be around 500 calories.

A clever tip for this recipe is to sprinkle a little extra truffle oil on top of the dish just before serving to enhance the decadent truffle flavor.
