Serves 8-10

Ingredients

1 (16-ounce) package mild or medium cheddar cheese

1 (16-ounce) package Colby-jack cheese

1 package gouda cheese

1 (16-ounce) box penne or ziti pasta

1 pint (16-ounce) heavy whipping cream

3 large eggs

6-8 ounces sour cream

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 cups heavy whipping cream

3 large eggs

1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°.

Boil pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

While the pasta cooks, cube all the cheeses into small pieces. In a small bowl, whisk together heavy whipping cream, eggs, sour cream, flour, dry mustard and white pepper until

smooth. In a 9 x 13 baking pan, layer half of the cooked noodles and half of the cubed cheeses. Then layer the remaining noodles and cheese on top. Pour the cream mixture evenly

over the layered noodles and cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve warm.
