directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.

- Drain and place gnocchi in a single-layer in a 1-1/2 quart shallow baking dish that has been sprayed with nonstick spray.
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Whisk in flour until it thickens and bubbles, then whisk in milk and dijon.
- Continue to whisk mixture and cook until slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Combine the gruyere and fontina, and then add the cheese by the handful to milk mixture, stirring until melted before adding more.
- Once all the cheese is melted, taste the sauce and season it with salt and pepper.
- Pour sauce evenly over the gnocchi.
- In a small bowl, combine the parmesan and panko – then, sprinkle the mixture evenly on top of the gnocchi.
- Bake the gnocchi until they puff and the cheese is golden and bubbly, about 25 minutes.
- Let the gnocchi rest for 5 minutes before serving.
