The classic American dish, mac 'n' cheese, consists of pasta in a creamy cheese sauce, but how delightful it is to complement this cheesy delight with delicious vegetables! The dish immediately bursts with a multitude of flavors—just look at the sweetness of grape tomatoes!—and is packed with healthy fiber and vitamins. The more different cheeses you use in the sauce, the more complex its flavor will be. For the finishing touch, sprinkle the surface of the mac 'n' cheese with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan and butter and grill the topping in the oven. It will develop a wonderfully crispy crust, enveloping the tender pasta.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook until bright green and crisp-tender, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon and let cool. Return the water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions. Set aside 1 cup of the pasta cooking water and discard the rest.
- In a large saucepan, whisk together the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, reserved pasta water, Mexican cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, mustard, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble, 6-8 minutes. Add the pasta and broccoli and stir until coated. Transfer the mixture to a 3-quart baking dish and top with the tomatoes.
- Preheat oven to broil. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs and melted butter; sprinkle over the macaroni and cheese. Grill, rotating the pan, until the topping is golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
