Now

Turn the broiler on and broil the mac and cheese till golden brown on top for about three minutes.

The earthiness of the manchego cheese makes this makes this mac and cheese dish especially good .

Now, for those not on low carb here's one I saw on the Iron chef.

Take some cheddar cheese gold fishes and put them on top and bake and the mac with the cheddar crunchy goldfishes comes out really good. They made a mac and cheese and used cheddar cheese goldfishes on top for crunch. I say it again but it was on iron chef and that's what they did. Incredible but very good and they got a good score, too

I was surprised to see it!!!
