Indulge in a luxurious Lobster Mac and Cheese, a comforting classic elevated with succulent lobster and a rich, creamy cheese sauce. Perfect for a special occasion or a decadent weeknight treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound elbow macaroni
  • 1 pound cooked lobster meat, chopped
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups shredded Gruyere cheese
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large saucepan, melt 1/2 cup butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  3. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat. Stir in salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
  5. Add the shredded cheddar and Gruyere cheeses to the sauce, stirring until melted and smooth.
  6. Gently fold in the cooked macaroni and chopped lobster meat.
  7. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
  8. In a small bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over the mac and cheese.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the sauce is bubbly.
  10. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra rich flavor, use a mix of cheeses like fontina or Monterey Jack.
  • Ensure your lobster meat is fully cooked before adding it to the mac and cheese.
  • You can add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a subtle kick.
  • If you don’t have fresh lobster, good quality canned or frozen lobster meat can be used.
