Thomas Keller's Macaroni Gratin (Grati de Macaroni)

My 15 year old son declared this, "Way better than both Kraft and school Mac & Cheese!" and yes he was right, it was pretty darn good!

The recipe can be found here at Almost Bourdain.

I used Jarlsberg cheese, as it is one of our favorites and we always have it in the fridge. The recipe calls for only 1/2 c. of cheese, so I imagine you could use just about any cheese without it being too overpowering.
