Lobster Mac and Cheese

This Lobster Mac and Cheese recipe is a delightful twist on the traditional mac and cheese. The addition of fresh lobster elevates this dish, making it a gourmet meal that’s surprisingly easy to prepare.

Ingredients

8 ounces elbow macaroni
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup Gruyere cheese, shredded
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 lobster, cooked and meat removed, chopped into pieces
1/2 cup bread crumbs
Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In the same pot, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the flour and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until it forms a paste. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Cook the mixture for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens. Then, remove from heat and stir in the cheddar cheese, Gruyere cheese, and Dijon mustard until fully melted and combined.
Add the cooked macaroni and lobster to the cheese sauce, mixing well to ensure everything is coated.
Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Top with bread crumbs for a crispy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley for a vibrant touch.

Enjoy this luscious Lobster Mac and Cheese as a centerpiece for your next gathering, and watch as everyone savors every bite. It’s not just a meal; it’s an experience that brings warmth to any occasion.
