Lobster mac and cheese
Serves 6
Ingredients:
Unsalted butter ½ stick
All Purpose Flour ½ cup
Whole Milk 1 quart
Asiago cheese, grated 2 cups
Cheddar cheese, grated 1 cup
Monterey Jack cheese, grated 1 cup
Lobster tail, poached and diced ½ pound
1 pound boiled and cooled shell pasta
Salt, white and black pepper TT
Granulated garlic 1 tablespoon
Fresh thyme, chopped 1 teaspoon
Method of prep:
In a medium sauce pan melt butter over medium heat. Be careful not to brown the butter. Once it's melted add the flour and stir into a paste. Cook the paste for 1 minute and add milk. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the bottom of the pan to make sure it's all incorporated. Use a whisk to stir the sauce over medium to high heat. Cook until the sauce is the consistency of yogurt. In a large mixing bowl, mix hot sauce with all of the cheese, pasta and lobster. Mix thoroughly and add salt and pepper to taste plus garlic and thyme. Transfer to a casserole dish or cast iron pan. Bake at 350 until brown on the top and the Mac n cheese is bubbly. Top with extra cheese before baking for extra golden brown results.
