Instructions

Step 1

For your family-style macaroni and cheese, start by mixing your bread crumbs, za’atar, and fresh chopped thyme. Mix all together until combined and mix in your melted unsalted butter. For your cheese mixture, in a second bowl mix your shredded cheddar and gruyere.

Step 2

To cook the macaroni, in a large pot boil just before al dente, strain, and set aside. In the same saucepan, melt your butter over medium heat and add your flour. Cook for 45 seconds and then slowly whisk in your milk until it begins to thicken. Then add 4 cups of the cheese mixture making sure to save the leftover. Stir until sauce forms and add back in your pasta.

Step 3

In a medium-sized baking dish, pour in half your mac and cheese, add your remaining cheese mixture, and put the other half of mac and cheese on top. Top that off with all your breadcrumb topping and place it into the oven set to 350ºF for 25 minutes.
