This easy recipe for lobster macaroni and cheese takes everyone’s favorite comfort food and makes it even more amazing with lobster and crispy breadcrumbs!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 6 ounces elbow macaroni
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 2 1/2 cups milk
  • 8 ounces shredded sharp Cheddar (I recommend Cabot)
  • 1 lobster, cooked, shelled and meat torn into bite sized pieces (see note)

Instructions

  1. Put breadcrumbs and olive oil in a small skillet over medium high heat and stir until crumbs are toasted and golden brown.  Set aside.
  2. Cook macaroni until tender in boiling salted water. Drain and set aside.
  3. Heat butter in Dutch oven over medium-high heat until foaming. Add flour and whisk to combine, about one minute. Whisking constantly, add milk.
  4. Bring mixture to a boil, whisking constantly. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until thickened to the consistency of heavy cream, whisking occasionally.
  5. Take off heat and stir in cheese until cheese is fully melted. Add pasta and stir over medium low heat until heated through, 3-5 minutes. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.  Stir in lobster meat.
  6. Ladle into bowls, top with toasted breadcrumbs and serve!

Notes

You can also use pre-cooked lobster meat – we have used Cozy Harbor of Maine cook lobster, and one 7 ounce container works wonderfully!
