This popular dish is one of my favorite restaurant copycat recipes and an absolute must-try, packed with five signature cheeses, and a delicious, crisp bacon topping!
Cut the bacon into lardons or bite-sized strips. Crisp up in a large saucepan, in the oven, or in the microwave. Drain on a paper towel, and set aside.
Once the butter has melted, add the flour to the skillet. Combine until the butter and flour have mixed together and have formed a paste-like consistency.
Slowly stream in the milk while stirring, to combine the roux with the milk. Keep the heat on medium-low, and let the sauce thicken while it comes to a simmer.
Turn the heat to low, and slowly add in the cheese. Add them in one handful at a time, and stir in completely before adding in the next handful of cheese.
