Does anyone have a recipe for macaroni and cheese using cheddar, swiss and mozzarella?

Is this even a possible combination? I have a lot of cheese left over from a cheese platter from a party, it even has havarti which I really don't think can be used in mac and cheese. I appreciate any feedback!Does anyone have a recipe for macaroni and cheese using cheddar, swiss and mozzarella?
I make mac and cheese all the time with whatever eftover cheese ends I have- you can use it all, even the havarti- make a white sauce, add 3/4 of your cheese- shredded or cubed, and cook until thickened and melted. pour over hot cooked macaroni, add 3/4 of the remaining cheese, and top with bread crumbs, dot with butter, and sprinkle over the rest of the cheese, bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutesDoes anyone have a recipe for macaroni and cheese using cheddar, swiss and mozzarella?
