It’s no secret that I’m a fan of macaroni and cheese. Pasta and cheese, while a little unhealthy (ok, maybe more than a little unhealthy) are two of my favorite things. Macaroni and cheese is quite fun to make. You can experiment with different cheeses and even add meats or veggies. When I got my most recent Food Network magazine, a wave of excitement came over me. The issue was focusing on cheese and there was a tear out pamphlet with 50 varieties of macaroni and cheese included! I looked over this little gem of a booklet and got some ideas for future macaroni and cheese recipes. One of the recipes was for lobster macaroni and cheese. This recipe inspired me to create my own lobster macaroni and cheese recipe. So last Saturday evening, I set out on a mission to make it!
Jul 27, 2017 Lobster Mac & Cheese by Dylan Keith. featured in 25 Mac 'N' Cheese Recipes. For 6 servings. 12 oz lobster tail (340 g), 4 tails; 1 cup homemade breadcrumb (115 g). Toss the cooked pasta with the sauce and ½ of the lobster, reserving about ½ for the top. Nov 16, 2018 Add a layer of lobster pieces, and then another layer of macaroni. Add a few pieces of lobster on top(for visual appeal) of the last layer of pasta and then cover. In a small sauce pan, melt 1 tbsp butter and saute the shallot until tender. Add the cooked lobster and swirl around to coat in the mixture. In a large pot, melt ½ C butter over low heat. Add the flour and mix well. Add the milk and heavy cream. Mix well and then bring just to a boil and then reduce heat to low. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring with a whisk. Kik for mac. Still whisking, add the hot milk and cook for a minute or two more, until thickened and smooth. Off the heat, add the Gruyere, Cheddar, 1 tablespoon salt, the pepper, and nutmeg. Add the cooked macaroni and lobster and stir well. Place the mixture in 6 to 8 individual gratin dishes.
After the recipe was baked and tested, I realized that next time I make it I need to add something to it. I am thinking that chipotle peppers in adobo sauce would work well. While it wasn’t extremely bland, I felt it needed something else to give it a kick. However, the next day it tasted amazing. I think it just needed time for the flavors to mingle. I will still probably try it with chipotle peppers next time, and maybe shrimp and scallops. I hope you enjoy this recipe!
