Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cook the macaroni in salted boiling water until al dente; drain and set aside.

In a skillet, sauté chopped onions and garlic in a little oil until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add diced bacon to the skillet and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

Pour in white wine and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.

In a large bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, bacon mixture, cream, black pepper, and nutmeg; mix well.

Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and spread evenly.

Slice the reblochon cheese in half horizontally and place it on top of the macaroni, rind side up.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
