1
Cook the Macaroni
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2
Prepare the Sauce
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk for about 2 minutes to create a roux. Gradually add the milk while whisking continuously until smooth and thickened. Stir in the nutmeg, salt, and black pepper.
3
Combine Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, lardons (previously cooked), half of the grated Gruyère cheese, and the prepared sauce. Mix well to ensure everything is coated.
4
Assemble the Gratin
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining Gruyère cheese on top.
5
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
