Not Yo’ Mama’s Mac ‘n’ Cheese

macaroni-cheeseDecadent is the only word to describe this top-rated specialty of John’s City Diner in Birmingham. The smoked gouda adds marvelous flavor, but you can substitute regular gouda. Don’t use preshredded cheese; it doesn’t melt as smoothly. You can shred the cheese and crisp the prosciutto up to one day ahead and chill. You can also toast the breadcrumbs ahead and store them in a zip-top plastic bag.
