4 tablespoons butter, melted
8 slices good white bread (I use sourdough), crusts removed, and cut into ½ inch pieces
6 tablespoons butter
½ cup flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
5 ½ cups whole milk
12-14 ounces white cheddar cheese, shredded (about 3 cups)
6-8 ounces Gruyere, shredded (about 1 ½ cups)
1 lb elbow macaroni
6-8 ounces white cheddar, shredded (about 1 ½ cups),
2-3 ounces Gruyere, shredded (about ½ cup)

Steps:

Oven 375. Toss melted butter and bread cubes together and set aside. Melt the butter until bubbly. Add the flour and salt and stir to combine. Add the milk, stirring constantly until thick and bubbly. Remove from heat and add the cheese. Stir to melt and set aside. Generously butter a 3-quart casserole dish. Pour the macaroni and cheese into it, and top with remaining cheese and buttered bread cubes. Bake 30 minutes, until browned on top. Cool 5 minutes before serving.
