Indulge in rich Lobster Mac Cheese with this decadent recipe Experience creamy cheesy goodness topped with succulent lobster for a gourmet meal
Ingredients
Scale
8 oz elbow macaroni
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup cooked lobster meat, roughly chopped
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add the elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, making sure to reserve a little pasta water in case you need to adjust the consistency of the sauce later.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once it's fully melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture turns a light golden color.
Gradually whisk in the whole milk. Continue to whisk until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low, and stir in both the shredded cheddar and Gruyère cheeses. Mix until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce reaches a creamy consistency. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Add the drained macaroni and chopped lobster meat into the cheese sauce. Stir well to ensure that every piece of pasta is coated with the luxurious cheese sauce.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the lobster mac and cheese mixture into a greased baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs over the top for a delightful crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Allow the dish to cool for a few minutes before serving. Dig in and savor the creamy richness of the mac and cheese combined with the unique flavor of lobster.
Notes
Lobster Mac and Cheese combines the comforting essence of traditional mac and cheese with the luxury of fresh lobster, creating a dish that is sure to impress.
