Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add salt. Cook the macaroni for 1 minute less than the timing listed on the package instructions. Drain the macaroni and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter; set aside.
- In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally until soft, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in the cayenne, paprika, nutmeg and several turns of black pepper and cook for 2 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high, whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add 3 cups of the milk and cook, stirring and whisking frequently, until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes; repeat with the remaining 3 cups milk. (I like to use a whisk if I see any lumps. Otherwise, I stir with a spoon or spatula.) Add the Brie and Gruyère, stirring until the cheese is completely melted. Take the skillet off the heat and stir in the cooked macaroni. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the top with the panko and Parmesan. Bake until golden brown on top, about 15 minutes.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes. Serve with a bar of ingredients on the side for your guests to choose!

Tips and Conclusion
Tips:
- To make a creamy cheese sauce, start with a roux. A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that is cooked together until it is smooth and bubbly. Then, slowly whisk in milk or cream until the sauce reaches the desired consistency.
- Use a variety of cheeses to create a flavorful and complex cheese sauce. Some good options include cheddar, gruyère, fontina, and parmesan.
- Cook the macaroni until it is al dente. This means that it should be tender but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked macaroni will be mushy and unpleasant.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. You can add cooked vegetables, meat, or seafood to your macaroni and cheese to create a unique and delicious dish.
- Serve macaroni and cheese immediately after it is made. It is best enjoyed when it is hot and gooey.
Conclusion:
Macaroni and cheese is a classic comfort food that is loved by people of all ages. It is easy to make and can be customized to suit any taste. Whether you like it simple or loaded with toppings, macaroni and cheese is sure to satisfy your cravings. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give macaroni and cheese a try.
