With only four ingredients in this recipe, every ingredient needs to pull its weight. Of course, Boursin is the star here. You can use any flavour, but our favourite for this is Garlic & Fine Herbs. You’ll incorporate the Boursin into evaporated milk (the secret to the easiest mac and cheese). Evaporated milk is exactly what it sounds like: milk that’s been reduced and, in turn, has a much lower water content. It is way less likely to curdle over heat, so it's perfect for making creamy, cheesy sauces.
