A while ago we ate at a local gastropub called The Flying Pig. I haven’t been that impressed with a meal in a long time. We started off our meal with an incredible bacon mac and cheese. I inquired as to the types of cheeses that went into this magical creation and was given an answer. It was easy enough to experiment a little at home and come up with a great replica of the dish. They used a really great diced pork belly for their bacon which I only wish I had. I subbed pancetta which was still absolutely delicious. The cheese sauce combines goat cheese with white and yellow cheddar and brie. It’s then topped with provolone and baked, creating a scrumptious crust. I found a tasty sharp provolone that I shredded on top, but you can use slices from the deli just fine. This stuff is seriously good. We may have fought over the leftovers… Intimidated by gourmet?
