Instructions

  1. Cook macaroni according to package directions and set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan, gently heat milk and cream. Do not let it come to a boil.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
  4. Once the butter is melted and frothy, add flour and whisk.
  5. Whisk constantly until the butter and flour mixture are totally combined and become a golden brown colour – about two or three minutes. This is called a roux.
  6. Carefully pour your milk and cream into your roux, whisking constantly. Use extreme caution as the mixture will bubble up and you don’t want to burn yourself.
  7. Continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth and has thickened – another one or two minutes.
  8. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and whisk until it has fully melted.
  9. Add the shredded parmesan and whisk until it has fully melted.
  10. Add salt, pepper and any other seasonings you’d like, stirring constantly.
  11. Pour cheese mixture over macaroni and stir thoroughly.
  12. Add red pepper flakes and lobster meat and stir to combine.
  13. For baked mac and cheese, poour mac and cheese into a casserole dish or individual ramekins.
  14. Top with panko crumbs and bake at 350 until the panko crumbs have become golden brown.

Enjoy!
